BONDABLE TEFLON ® AND PTFE PTFE can be etched with a sodium ammonia or sodium naphthalene etch so that its surface is chemically modified for adhesion to various substrates using ordinary commercial grade epoxies. When etched for bonding, PTFE can be used as chute liners, vessel linings, and glued to processing surfaces to make a non-stick, low coefficient of friction unit. It is important to use the correct temperature epoxy. The epoxy’s heat resistance must be matched to the application environment. If low temperature epoxy is used in a high temperature application, the epoxy will fail and the PTFE will separate from the substrate. Fluoro-Plastics is one of the few companies in the United States which actually stocks bondable PTFE sheets and rolls in standard thicknesses. Also, Fluoro-Plastics offers etching services on all thicknesses of PTFE. Teflon® Teflon is a registered trademark of Chemours LLC used under license by Fluoro-Plastics. Only Chemours makes Teflon.®. POROUS PTFE AND TEFLON ® Highly compressible sponge like material is perfectly suited for gasketing. Seals against smooth, rough, and damaged flanges without adhering. Ideal for glass-lined systems and flanges. Low friction, nonflammable material resists chemicals and moisture, and is chemically inert. It has all of the performance characteristics of PTFE because it is PTFE. Operating temperature is from minus 320 deg. F to 500 deg. F. Melting point is 621 deg. F. Average pore size is 50 microns; 55% voids. Not pressure rated. Compressible PTFE comes in sheets or rolls. Standard sizes are square foot increments, but long rolls are available. Interim slit widths are also available. This material can be etched for bonding. Teflon® is a registered trademark of Chemours LLC used under license by Fluoro-Plastics. Only Chemours makes TEFLON®. CUSTOM PROFILES TEFLON ® AND PTFE Surf Technologies is the world leader in the design and manufacture of custom profiles, from special configuration slides for copiers, to continuous tadpole gasketing, to wiper blades and special molds for vulcanizing rubber into inflatable weather stripping (a substitute for an aluminum mold). PTFE profiles work where other materials fail: PTFE’s high permeation resistance, low creep, smooth surface and high voltage dielectric properties are ideal for many unique applications requiring the range of performance characteristics only PTFE offers. For example, Surf Technologies has extruded wiper blade profiles, retrofitted insulating profiles in high voltage applications, made slide rails for copiers and we developed and produced many other unusual configurations. If you require a special PTFE configuration, let Surf Technologies machine a prototype to fine tune the configuration, then build an extrusion die for production quantities or application lengths. Protective and confidential agreements are honored. Teflon® is a registered trademark of Chemours LLC used under license by Fluoro-Plastics. Only Chemours makes TEFLON®. PTFE AND TEFLON ® ROD Rod is available in virgin PTFE, reprocessed PTFE and 15% glass filled PTFE. Surf Technologies extrudes rod in all standard sizes from 1/8th inch diameter up to 2 inches in diameter. Rod is inventoried in twelve foot lengths so it can be cut into six foot lengths (UPS shipping) or less, as ordered. PTFE rod is generally used as machining stock for all kinds of chemical, electrical and mechanical components where the outstanding performance characteristics of PTFE are required. Various fillers are available to modify the properties of PTFE to meet application requirements. Fluoro-Plastics stocks huge inventories so that same day shipment of most standard sizes is available. Conforms to ASTM D 1710 and MIL-P 19468. Teflon® is a registered trademark of Chemours LLC used under license by Fluoro-Plastics. Only Chemours makes TEFLON®. EXTRUDED TUBE TEFLON ® AND PTFE Surf Technologies is a leader in the manufacture of heavy walled PTFE tube, both in standard inch sizes and in AWG sizes. Tube is used in fluid handling applications for high temperature acids and caustics or where contamination is an issue, such as in wire braided hose. In applications where PTFE’s excellent insulating properties are needed heavy walled tube is the shape of choice, e.g. in spark plugs for stationary generators, coaxial spacers, connectors,. Because drilling a precise hole in longer PTFE lengths is impossible, extruded tube is the best way to insure uniform wall thickness throughout the length of the tube. Various fillers are available to modify the properties of PTFE to meet application requirements.

GUIDE RAILS, RECTANGULAR BARS AND WEAR STRIPS TEFLON ® AND PTFE Fluoro-Plastics/Surf Technologies stocks standard guide rail shapes: cover bar, chain guide, snap-ons, half rounds, and j legs in various sizes for applications where temperatures exceed 180 deg. F. All shapes are extruded from granular PTFE, which is the toughest kind of PTFE and is ideal in conveyancing systems to quickly and easily move products and materials with no breakage, reduced chatter and noise and little downtime on the line. Virgin PTFE is FDA approved. It is non-stick, has zero water absorption, withstands corrosives, is non-aging, easy to cut, machine and install, and has good flexibility and a long service life. PTFE guide rails and wear strips will operate in the harshest chemical environments and in temperatures from -350 deg. F to over 500 deg. F, making them ideal for food processing, sterilization applications, chemical processing industries, cosmetics industry and many other high-tech industries where products have to travel over or along metal rails through harsh environments at high temperatures. PTFE guide rails and wear strips will provide thousands of hours of continuous, economical service where all of the melt-processible plastics fail. Standard lengths are 5 feet and 10 feet, but non-standard lengths are available. Fluoro-Plastics stocks an extensive array of rectangular bar sizes for use as a slide surface in ways and slots.

MACHINE PARTS TEFLON ® AND PTFE Because of its unique molecular structure, granular PTFE does not melt. It cannot be molded into complex forms like other plastics. However, it is easily machined on all standard equipment, including the most advanced CNC machining equipment. PTFE can be cut, bored, milled and turned using standard tooling. Normally PTFE is machined to tolerances of about plus or minus .005 inches. While closer tolerances are occasionally required, they usually are not necessary. PTFE is very resilient which allows machined parts to conform to most working dimensions. A part can sometimes be press-fitted at lower cost than doing final machining to exact size. When closer tolerances are required, it is essential to use stress-relieved products. Fluoro-Plastics offers complete annealing services to industry standards for all stock shapes we manufacture. Tolerances of plus or minus .001 inches can be held with Fluoro-Plastics shapes that have been properly annealed at our factories. Fluoro-Plastics has a complete machine shop to turn out finished parts from prototypes up to production quantities....
