At Pacific Gaskets, PTFE packings are available in a density range of 1.4 to 1.9 g/cm3 along with waterproofing and lubrication properties. Our products are certified by FDA and BAM as per the compliance guidelines for various applications.
PTFE is formed from a strong bond of carbon and fluorine atoms that create a strong chemical resistance. The properties of PTFE such as high resistance to different chemicals, low permeability towards gases and liquids, low coefficient of friction and tolerance to various temperatures make it an ideal sealing material.
PTFE packing can endure high pressure and high linear speed with less impact on the shaft. The PTFE material is odorless and non-corrosive and helps to prevent contamination of contents. Additionally, the properties of PTFE are suitable for the needs of the chemical and pharmaceutical industry.
PTFE or Polytetrafluoroethylene packing is primarily utilized in different kinds of valves and pumps. In industries dealing with solvents, oxidizing media, corrosive chemicals, mineral oils, lacquers, inorganic acids, solvents, sea water, and other contents, PTFE packing are widely used. Let’s understand application and benefits of PTFE packaging.
