PolyFluor PTFE Materials
PolyFluor™ PTFE Materials
Developing and using PTFE for sealing applications has been the foundation for our business. We strive to have the highest quality materials that would give the best performance. Our PolyFluor™ PTFE materials are based on premium grade PTFE resins and carefully formulated into proprietary blends with fillers added to improve material properties, such as wear and extrusion resistance.
Rest assured that with PolyFluor™ seals and sealing elements, you're working with PTFE materials designed to excel in the most challenging applications.
Key Features of PolyFluor™ Materials:
- Low friction
