A PTFE seal is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene with numerous applications. PTFE is a fluorocarbon solid, as it is a high-molecular weight compound consisting wholly of carbon and fluorine. It is hydrophobic: neither water nor water-containing substances wet PTFE. PTFE can be loaded with: glass carbon graphite bronze MOS2 or any of the other fillers available to enhance the performance of your seals. These PTFE materials are used in all industries and many different types of seals. Typical applications are rod and piston seals for fluid power cylinders, o-rings, lantern rings, SS spring loaded u-cups, PTFE lipped oil seals and many special engineered seals.
