PTFE vs LDPE
Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is a thermoplastic made from the monomer ethylene. It was the first grade of polyethylene, produced in 1933 by Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) using a high pressure process via free radical polymerization. The EPA estimates 5.7% of LDPE is recycled. Despite comp...Read more -
Why Use PTFE Convoluted Hose?
PTFE hose with permeation-resistant features:Smooth-bore PTFE core.Commonly used where chemical compatibility and permeation resistance is desired.Standard and custom assemblies available. The PTFE Advantage PTFE hose is ideally suited for applications requiring maximum flexibility, high-pr...Read more -
Extruded PTFE Film
Sintered extruded PTFE film is a quality high modulus non-adhesive PTFE film manufactured by extrusion and sintering processes. The resulting film is characterized by high dielectric strength and chemical resistance, low moisture absorption and resistance to permeability. PTFE Extruded Film Tape...Read more -
Expanded PTFE Sheet
Expanded PTFE Sheet is a high performance sheet gasket material made of multi-directionally expanded virgin PTFE. It is a soft, form-in-place gasket material that conforms to almost any sealing surface. It is capable of withstanding a wide range of pressure, temperature and chemical environments....Read more -
What is the difference between PTFE & PCTFE for Valve
PCTFE or CTFE (originally known as Kel-F*) has many of the properties similar to other fluoropolymers such as PTFE, FEP or PFA, but is mechanically superior in rigidity (does not deform easily), and has very low gas permeability . PCTFE or CTFE (originally known as Kel-F*) has many of the prope...Read more -
What is the difference between ETFE and PTFE?
ETFE (or Ethylene tetraflurorethylene) is a fluorine based plastic, equipped with a high melting point and an excellent chemical, electrical and high energy radiation resistance property.PTFE (or polytetrafluroethylene) is a fluorocarbon solid. Working as a hydrophobic, neither water nor water-ba...Read more
