PTFEFüllungen

PTFEüllungen, also known as PTFE gaskets or PTFE seals, are sealing components made from polytetrafluoroethylene, a synthetic fluoropolymer. PTFE is a highly versatile material renowned for its exceptional chemical resistance, low coefficient of friction, and non-stick properties. These characteristics make PTFEüllungen ideal for applications where aggressive chemicals, high temperatures, or abrasive substances are present.

The primary function of a PTFEüllung is to prevent leakage in joints and connections, ensuring the integrity of systems that handle fluids or gases. They are commonly used in various industries, including chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, automotive, and aerospace. The material's inertness means it does not react with or contaminate the substances it comes into contact with, which is crucial for sensitive applications.

PTFEüllungen are manufactured in numerous forms, including O-rings, gaskets, seals, and custom-shaped components. They can be solid PTFE or incorporate fillers to enhance specific properties such as compressive strength, wear resistance, or thermal conductivity. Common fillers include glass fiber, carbon, graphite, or bronze. The choice of filler depends on the specific operating conditions and performance requirements of the application. Their ability to withstand a wide temperature range, from cryogenic levels to high temperatures, further broadens their applicability. PTFEüllungen are a reliable and cost-effective solution for demanding sealing challenges.
