The molecular structure of PTFE is similar to a long chain of carbon atoms which are completely “protected” from fluorine atoms which by their nature reject any interaction with other atoms, this particular molecular structure determines a series of chemical and physical characteristics which are of great interest in the industrial field.

  • Total chemical inertia (except for alkaline metals in melted state and fluorine)
  • Biocompatibility and suitability on contact with foodstuffs (FDA Cert.)
  • Non-adhesive (but with the possibility of making the product adhesive using the correct treatment)
  • Extremely low friction coefficient
  • Totally waterproof
  • Excellent electrical insulation
  • Excellent resistance to ageing (even under UV rays)
  • Non-inflammable
  • Good heat insulation
  • Very wide range of operating temperatures
  • Excellent tool workability

The already excellent performance of PTFE can be further modified with the addition of the correct fillers which improve one or more properties intrinsic to polymer itself going as far as, where required by the final application, modifying the colour, the mechanical characteristics and even the electrical behaviour.
The constant monitoring of the productive process of its usual standards, but also the research and development of customized formulations designed to satisfy even the most demanding requests, is guaranteed by the presence in the company team of an independent specialized structure in the pre-treatment of resins just as in the production of the compounds.
