Expanded PTFE (ePTFE)

Description

Expanded PTFE is a naturally clean and non-toxic material, meeting FDA standards, making this material a popular choice in the food and drug industries. Naturally pliable, Expanded PTFE makes an excellent flange gasket. Expanded PTFE offers exceptional mechanical strength for gasketing. Expanded PTFE also offers tremendous resistance to chemicals, including harsh acids.

Expanded PTFE Sheets are a high-performance sheet gasket material made of multi-directionally expanded virgin PTFE. It is a soft, form-in-place gasket material that conforms to almost any sealing surface. It can withstand a wide range of pressure, temperature and chemical environments. Due to its highly fibrillated microstructure, it has excellent creep resistance compared with other PTFE products.
