Product Description
Offered best quality Expanded PTFE Sheets are the extremely compressible physicals made from 100% virgin PTFE. These are food approved products rendered with outstanding resistance to a wide ambit of chemicals, making these the popular sealing material in the food, pharmaceutical and drink industries. These are very soft and particularly compressible products, proffered with excellent resistance to various chemicals. Expanded PTFE Sheets can resist compressive loads without losing their sealing capability. These sheets are unaffected by ozone, corona and UV and do not become fragile with age. These produce uniform as well as extremely fibrillated microstructures.
Chemical and Thermal ExcellenceExpanded PTFE Sheets boast outstanding resistance to highly aggressive chemicals, withstanding most acids, alkalis, and solvents. Their impressive thermal stability enables operations across a vast temperature spectrum, ranging from -268C to +260C. This makes them perfect for challenging industrial environments, such as chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, and electronics, where both chemical and thermal reliability are paramount.
Engineered for Toughness and UtilityCompression-molded from quality PTFE, these sheets deliver superior compressibility and high tensile strength, accommodating surface irregularities and ensuring excellent sealing. Their non-stick, smooth finish and minimal water absorption reinforce their suitability for food processing and pharmaceutical use. Electrical insulating properties and customizable sizing options broaden their application scope further.
FAQ's of Expanded PTFE Sheet:
Q: How can Expanded PTFE Sheets be used in sealing applications?
A: Expanded PTFE Sheets provide a highly compressible and flexible solution for gasket sealing, conforming easily to irregular surfaces and ensuring leak-proof joints in piping, flanges, and reactors, even under extreme pressure and temperature conditions.
Q: What benefits do Expanded PTFE Sheets offer for chemical industries?
A: These sheets excel in chemical industries due to their unrivaled resistance to most acids, alkalis, and solvents. This resistance preserves longevity and maintains consistent performance even in harsh environments with aggressive substances.
Q: Where are Expanded PTFE Sheets typically installed?
A: They are widely used in industries such as chemical processing, food production, pharmaceuticals, and electronics. Their chemical inertness and FDA compliance make them ideal for sensitive or hygienic applications, such as lining, sealing, and insulation.
Q: What is the recommended process for installing PTFE Sheets as gaskets?
A: The sheets are cut to the required shapes using standard gasket-cutting tools. Their high compressibility simplifies installation between flanges or surfaces. For best results, ensure clean, dry surfaces and comply with recommended torque specifications.
Q: When should you choose Expanded PTFE Sheets over conventional gasket materials?
A: Select Expanded PTFE Sheets when you require excellent resistance to chemicals, high and low temperature stability, non-toxicity, and the need for highly compressible sealing, especially where FDA compliance and electrical insulation are crucial.
Q: What thickness and size options are available for Expanded PTFE Sheets?
A: Standard sizes include 1000x1000 mm and 1500x1500 mm, with thicknesses from 0.5 mm to 50 mm. Custom sizes can also be provided by the manufacturer to meet specific requirements.
Q: How does the dielectric strength of Expanded PTFE Sheets benefit electronic applications?
A: With excellent electrical insulating properties and high dielectric strength, these sheets are ideal for applications in electronics where preventing electrical leakage and providing reliable insulation are essential.
