Polytetrafluoroethylene
(PTFE) is a high molecular weight polymer, one of the most versatile
plastic materials known and useful for a large range of products for
applications excluded to other materials.
The most
outstanding characteristics are:
high heat resistance
high resistance to
chemical agents and solvents
high anti
adhesiveness
high dielectric
properties
low friction
coefficient
non-toxicity.
PTFE is
generally considered a thermoplastic polymer; at 327°C it maintains a
very high viscosity, thus requiring particular transformation techniques
for manufacturing of finished and semi-finished goods. PTFE can be
employed at any temperature from -200°C to +260°C.
During more
than 35 years, LANZA has developed manufacturing processes and
production control techniques to insure the highest quality PTFE
products in the market.
