PTFE (Teflon) Sheet
PTFE is commonly referred to as Teflon® (a registered trademark of DuPont) and is a synthetic, nontoxic, fluorocarbon-based thermoplastic widely used in many industries. PTFE possesses a low coefficient of friction, superior electrical properties, high chemical resistance, and stability throughout a wide range of temperatures. These properties make PTFE and ideal choice for thermal and electrical applications such as high temperature seals and insulators.
