Pure PTFE Polymer Packing
Pure packing rope is Flexible, almost completely chemical inertia, dimensional stable, low coefficient of friction and excellent resistance to compression. It is suitable for all the chemical compound, alternative & rotary motions shafts, rods, piston valves, steam, expansion joints. It is a ...Read more -

PTFE/FEP vs Ultem® / PEI (polyetherimide) Machining
Ultem® / PEI (polyetherimide) is a high-strength amorphous polymer with excellent heat and flame resistance (carrying a flammability rating of 94-V-0) with little smoke output. It performs continuously to 340° F, making it superior to commodity plastics such as Nylon and Delrin®. PTFE was o...Read more -
PTFE vs Silicone
Silicones, also known as polysiloxanes, are polymers that include any inert, synthetic compound made up of repeating units of siloxane, which is a chain of alternating silicon atoms and oxygen atoms, frequently combined with carbon and/or hydrogen. They are typically heat-resistant and rubber-lik...Read more -
PTFE vs Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA)
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) (conjugate base perfluorooctanoate), also known as C8, is a synthetic perfluorinated carboxylic acid and fluorosurfactant. One industrial application is as a surfactant in the emulsion polymerization of fluoropolymers. It has been used in the manufacture of such prom...Read more -
PTFE vs Rubber
PTFE is white by nature. So that is a redundant term. Other forms of polymer like FEP and PFA are more translucent; def not white. PTFE is more chemical resistant than your average automotive elastomer like neoprene and EPDM. That is a “better.” Rubber will degrade well before a fluor...Read more
