The particular chemical-physical characteristics of the material make it suitable for use in the most varied of industrial sectors.
The extremely low friction coefficient and self-lubrication make PTFE particularly interesting for use in the field of mechanics where the tribological characteristics take on an important role.
Suitability on contact with foodstuffs and its non-adhesive properties make the material ideal for many applications in the foodstuffs industry.
The total chemical inertia combined with its optimal resistance at temperatures, to ageing and to atmospheric conditions make PTFE an irreplaceable element in many critical applications of the chemical, petrochemical, aeronautical and aerospace industries.
The possibility of being easily sterilized, excellent biocompatibility and the lack of transfer of foreign particles mean that PTFE certainly will always find uses in the medical and biotechnological fields.
The optimum dielectrical properties together with its resistance to atmospheric agents make sure that the material has a prominent place in the electronic and also electrical power industries.
