PTFE Sheets
Polytetrafluoroethylene sheets are mostly called PTFE sheets. Or, you may also call them Teflon sheets. Of course, the two names refer to the same product except that “Teflon” is PTFE made by DuPont.
Generally speaking, these sheets are made from fluorine and carbon bonds. That is where it derives the name Polytetrafluoroethylene.
Due to the strong carbon bonds, they are considered high molecular sheets. A reason they are common in many applications today.
Types of PTFE Sheets Available
You can use broad criteria to classify Teflon sheets. It is due to the wide customization options.
Ideally, you may want:
- PTFE sheets with adhesive – they have adhesive substrate on one surface
- Cut to size PTFE sheets – the PTFE are cut according to your specific requirements
- Sheets with varying thickness – you may choose the PTFE sheet 3mm thick or 100 mm thick
In short, the available options depend on unique customization options. More importantly, this will also determine the PTFE sheet price.
General Purpose PTFE Sheet Material
Of course, the customization makes the Teflon sheets suitable for very specific applications. However, you may choose general-purpose PTFE sheets.
| Property of PTFE Sheet Material | Rating |
| Tensile strength | Poor |
| UV resistant | Good |
| Hardness | Medium soft |
| Impact strength | Good |
| Dimensions | Varies but it can be 6 by 6 inches to 48 by 48 inches |
Glass Filled PTFE Sheets
If you are looking for sheets with improved mechanical strength, impact, and abrasion resistance, then go for those with glass fiber. In most cases, these sheets have about 25% glass fibers
Features of Polytetrafluoroethylene Sheets
There are many reasons to choose these sheets:
- High melting makes the resin perfect for most continued service
- At high temperatures, PTFE material will remain stable. The temperature range is -200°C to +260°C.
- Known for superior anti-stick properties
- Superior insulation properties
- Co-efficient of friction is relatively low
- Better corrosion resistance than standard plastic material
- They are hydrophobic – they tend to repel water
- Chemically inert
- Are FDA approved
- Sensitive to gamma radiation
At times, your virgin PTFE sheet will not offer all these features. A reason you must reinforce the PTFE material. These sheets are made from 100% pure Polytetrafluoroethylene resin.
Let’s compare two interesting sheets:
| Virgin PTFE Sheet | Mechanical PTFE Sheet |
| · Made from 100% pure Polytetrafluoroethylene resin
· High physical properties · Normal application · No additional additives |
· Made from reprocessed Polytetrafluoroethylene resin
· Low physical properties · High-performance applications · Filled with additives to improve the properties |
Forms in Which you can Ship PTFE Sheets
You can get these materials as either flat or rolled. The packaging methods depend on the sheet thickness.
In most cases, the PTFE sheet rolls have a thickness of less than 0.093″. Otherwise, rolling Polytetrafluoroethylene sheets with higher thicknesses is not recommended.
Uses
You can machine or fabricate the PTFE material sheet to make many parts such as:
- PTFE gaskets
- PTFE bushing
- PTFE lining
- PTFE sliding plate
- PTFE electrical insulation parts
- PTFE washers
