Applications & selection
Typical uses
- Machined bushes & spacers
- Valve seats
- Insulators
- Import substitute spares
Industries: Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Engineering, Electrical.
Selecting the right construction
Specify diameter, cut length and machining allowance. Select the filler against load, wear, chemical exposure and electrical insulation needs.
Chemical resistance depends on the polymer, fillers, inserts and process conditions. Confirm the exact medium and concentration; general PTFE properties do not establish a complete assembly's service rating.
