 Thanks to their exceptional properties PTFE and modified PTFE as well as the compounds made from these materials offer new technical problem-solving approaches to design engineers. These unusual properties make PTFE perfectly suited for use as a special-purpose plastic material for a wide range of applications.
Despite higher material costs compared to conventional, massproduced plastics, PTFE parts may well be the more cost-effective alternative. When used in critical applications, PTFE offers longer service life, higher reliability and improved functionality to give you a greater competitive edge in difficult markets.
