Chemical Structure, Properties and Applications of PTFE Products

ByNobel Glass

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a flexible, high-performance fluoropolymer made consisting of carbon and fluorine atoms that are widely utilised. The non-stick coating in kitchen cookware (pans, baking trays, etc.) is one of the most popular applications of this polymer, therefore you may easily find it in your kitchen.

PTFE is employed as a cost-effective solution in a variety of industries including chemical processing, oil and gas, electrical/electronic, industrial, as well as construction.

Noble Glass Works is the most popular and well-known PTFE Lined Ball Valves manufacturer in Gujarat.

PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is a high-performance engineering plastic with the following characteristics:

  • Chemically Inert & Non-Reactive to almost all chemicals
  • Can resist upto 260°C temperature
  • Non-adhesive and non-stick properties
  • The exceptionally low friction coefficient
  • Excellent Electrical Insulation properties
  • Weather Resistant

Chemical processes, railways and defence sectors, thermal and automatic power plants, electrical and electronic industries, pharmaceuticals, and almost all industries employ PTFE Products due to their unique features.

Chemical Structure:

Poly Tetra Fluoro Ethylene is a non-branched linear polymer with the following chemical structure:

Because of the big fluorine atom, the PTFE molecule twists into a zigzag shape, with the fluorine atoms packed closely in a spiral around the carbon-carbon backbone. The dense interlocking of fluorine atoms produces a stiff PTFE molecule with a high crystalline melting point of 327°C, thermal stability, and electrical insulating qualities. The chemical inertness of the PTFE molecule is due to the strong and stable link between carbon and fluorine atoms.

Noble Glass Works is an excellent and trustworthy PTFE lined ball valve manufacturer in India.

Properties:

PTFE is available in both virgin and filled compounds to improve the basic qualities for a wide range of applications and end-uses.

Based on the required property for specified service conditions/applications, the grade of PTFE is chosen from the Virgin and Filled grades of PTFE. The handbook explains the different grades of PTFE and Filled PTFE, the filler content in PTFE, basic qualities, and important service conditions/end uses.

If you are looking for one of the most reliable PTFE High Pressure bellows manufacturers in India, Noble Glass Works is the name you can count on.

Applications:

PTFE goods are utilised in a variety of the sectors mentioned below as sealing and gasketing materials, electrical insulation products, antifriction components, anti-corrosive articles, anti-stick barriers, radiation barriers, inert and hygienic items, weathering-proof & non-water absorption materials.
