When it comes to handling aggressive chemicals and extreme temperatures, PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) is the undisputed king of fluoroplastics. However, for engineers and procurement specialists, the choice isn’t just “PTFE”—it’s whether to go with the pure performance of Virgin PTFE or the enhanced mechanical properties of Filled PTFE. At Cylex Plastics, we see firsthand how the wrong grade…

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), commonly known as Teflon, is the material of choice for applications requiring extreme chemical inertness, high temperature resistance, and unmatched low friction. However, its Achilles’ heel is relatively low mechanical strength and poor wear resistance in dynamic, high-load environments. The solution? Filled PTFE. By introducing performance-enhancing fillers like…

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), also known as the “King of Plastics,” is an excellent engineering plastic known for its excellent chemical resistance, low friction coefficient, high temperature resistance, and electrical insulation properties. PTFE is used in a wide range of industries, from aerospace to medical devices. However, with a wide range of PTFE products on the market, how do you choose…
