PTFE (Teflon®) plays a crucial role in these industries due to its exceptional properties, ensuring high efficiency and safety in various applications.

Highlighted Features:

  • Chemical Inertia: Since 1940, it has been used as a sealing and anti-corrosion coating material, resisting almost all chemical agents except alkali metals, fluorine, and strong oxidizers.
  • Resistance to Extreme Temperatures: Operates efficiently within a range of -200°C to +260°C.
  • Low Absorption: Unlike other plastics, it has virtually no absorption, increasing its durability.
  • Proven Safety: About 35% of the global PTFE consumption is dedicated to the chemical and petrochemical sectors, highlighting its reliability.

Main Applications:

  • Gaskets;
  • Solid, envelope, and expansion joints;
  • Valves, rings, washers, diaphragms, and membranes;
  • Lined conduction pipes;
  • Tank coatings;
  • High-voltage electrical insulators.
