POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), most known by the trademark Teflon®, is produced through the polymerization of tetrafluoroethylene.

Available in sheets, rods and sleeves, in white or natural coloured or it can have glass, graphite, stainless steel added varying the properties according to need.

It can be cut or processed with machine tools.
