PTFE (Teflon) in Injection Molding
PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), commonly known as Teflon, is a high-performance fluoropolymer valued for its chemical resistance, low friction, and thermal stability. RapidDirect machines PTFE for seals, gaskets, insulators, bearings, and custom components, and offers specialized molding for complex parts.
- Low friction: PTFE supports smooth operation and reduces wear in moving parts.
- Chemical resistance: PTFE resists almost all chemicals and suits aggressive environments.
- Thermal stability: PTFE retains useful performance across a wide temperature range.
- Electrical insulation: PTFE’s dielectric properties support insulating components.
Selection note: PTFE’s low friction and resistance to aggressive chemicals make it useful in moving components and demanding environments. The molding process requires careful control and shrinkage-aware tooling.
