Click here to buy PTFE Sheet. PTFE Sheet is an incredible engineering plastic that is most famous for its very low friction and also its very wide operating temperatures. PTFE Sheet is an engineering plastic that is also known for its electrical resistance and also high radio frequency resistance.

Applications of PTFE Sheet:
Due to its very low friction, PTFE Sheet is often used or chosen for wear pads, slideways, bearing plates and antifriction guide strips. In comparison, PTFE Sheet preforms much better than Nylon or Acetal with regards to reduced friction, although UHMWPE outpreforms PTFE with regard to wear resistance.

PTFE Sheet is a very good engineering plastic suited to seals due to its ability to compression set. This will allow they PTFE to conform to a mating surface much better than many other engineering plastics and produce an improved seal.

PTFE is most famous for its use in non stick cookwear, where a thin layer of PTFE is sprayed onto the surface to prevent food from sticking. PTFE is also now used in high performance water repelant and highly breathable clothing. It also is extensively used on the base of irons and plumbing tape.

Properties of PTFE Sheet:
PTFE Sheet is able to perform at minus 260°C and also 260°C, although its melting point is in excess of 320°C. helping it become one of the engineering plastics with one of the highest and lowest operating temperatures giving it the rare ability to perform in high and low temperature applications.

PTFE Sheet also has an incredibly low co-efficient of friction and is also actually described as being the lowest of all solid materials known to man and one that often amazingly means that insects and other creatures are unable to cling to. This ability is one of the reasons why PTFE Sheet is chosen for bearings and slideways in preference to other engineering plastics.

PTFE Sheet also has excellent electrical resistance properties and is often chosen as a high quality electrical insulation material in preformance to the lower performance engineering plastics previously specified.

PTFE Sheet has a very good chemical resistance ability and is also claimed to be inert to almost all known chemicals, making it an ideal choice for protection from corrosive chemicals.

Availability
The typical commerical availability of PTFE Sheet sizes are 1200mm X 1200mm and 1500mm X 1500mm although the thiner materials are available in extended lengths due to their production in roll form.

The typical commerical availablity of PTFE Sheet thickness range from 0.25mm upto 50mm although a greater dimensional range is often available.
