extruded ptfe is a form of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) that exhibits outstanding thermal, chemical and corrosion resistance. It is used in a wide variety of applications, including chemical and electrical transfer, telecommunications, marine, medical, automotive, construction, food processing and many other industrial products. PTFE’s prevalent carbon fluorine bonds make it one of the most chemically inert materials in existence, and it is also resistant to many solvents.

Unlike many other plastics, PTFE’s smooth surface makes it ideal for high-speed fluid transfer and virtually eliminates material residue buildup. PTFE’s low coefficient of friction is another major benefit, as it allows for faster operation and reduced wear on piping systems.

Its abrasion resistance is also well-documented, as are its nonstick and lubricious properties. Because PTFE is so durable, it can be used in a number of environments and with a variety of fluids, making it the preferred material for many critical applications.

In addition to its outstanding durability, PTFE offers unparalleled dielectric and electrical insulation properties. These unique characteristics allow PTFE profiles to solve difficult problems that other materials cannot. For example, Surf Technologies has created everything from wiper blade profiles to special configuration slides for copiers to insulating profiles for use in high voltage applications.
