Applications of PTFE

Applications-Fluid-Handling

Due to unique properties of PTFE materials, PTFE is used in variety of Industries in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical & Electronics Engineering.

Applications of PTFE & Filled PTFE in Chemical Engineering:-
PTFE & Filled PTFE Products are used in Fluid Handling applications in Chemical, Pharmaceuticals, Petrochemical, and Petroleum Industries mainly due to extraordinary chemical resistance to almost any service condition along with high thermal resistance. The major application include:
  • PTFE Gasketing material: Gaskets, O/D/V/U Rings, Universal Rope, Crescent Rings for Glass Pipelines.
  • PTFE Expansion Joints : Bellows
  • PTFE Ball Valves Seats - Seals
  • PTFE Diaphragms of Diaphragms Valves and Pumps.
  • PTFE Laboratory Ware: Beakers, Plug Cock.
  • PTFE Sleeves of Plug Valves.
  • PTFE Mechanical Seals of Pumps
  • PTFE Impellers / Body of Pumps
  • PTFE Tubing and Hoses.
  • PTFE Liners of Reactors, Storage Vessels / Pipes and Flanges.
  • PTFE Thread Seal Tapes.
  • PTFE Liners / Disc of Butterfly Valves.
Hindustan Nylons manufactures most of these products in PTFE & filled PTFE compositions/ grades.
