PTFE Sheets And Gaskets

Araflex Gaskets And Jointings Private Limited offers PTFE Sheets And Gaskets. PTFE provides excellent thermal insulation and is the most chemically resistant plastic known. It is unaffected by most corrosive liquids, vapors and gases. PTFE will insulate to 500 volts per mil and does not melt. Because of these properties, PTFE gaskets, washers and seals are used in the following industries: Electrical Applications, Food, Beverage & Pharmaceutical, Laboratories, Petrochemical & Chemical Processing, Semi-Conductor. PTFE resin performs well in many applications without fillers i.e. in its "virgin" state. In fact, fillers can lessen its outstanding electrical and chemical properties. In mechanical applications, however, compounds of PTFE and inorganic fillers offer improved wear resistance, reduce creep and initial deformation, and increased stiffness and conductivity. Hardness is increased, and the coefficient of thermal expansions is decreased. Compounds can therefore make it possible to gain the advantages in applications where the unfilled resin cannot be used. 

Araflex is a manufacturer of a variety of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) material.
