Can ptfe be used on gas?
When connecting gas pipelines and their fittings to a stove, grill or other connection, it is important to use polymer tape designed for gas connections and not polymer tape designed for water pipes. polymer tape seals the gas fittings’ threads and keeps leaks from developing. The poly...Read more -
Which elastomer (in general) is better? PTFE or PEEK.
As the vast array of industries had become more demanding with higher temperatures, caustic environments, higher pressures, etc… the standard elastomeric seal could no longer offer the life expectancy needed for companies to remain competitive. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) offers the opportunit...Read more -

Can PTFE be recycled?
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) plastics are generally opaque, and are an excellent barrier to gas, moisture, and resistance to heat. PTFE shows a remarkable chemical resistance and it is insoluble in all known solvents. It is attacked only by molten alkali metals and fluorine at high temperatures...Read more -

Bonding PTFE
Using epoxy cement or adhesive for sealing polymer to glass and metal and to itself. The resistance of polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE ) to any sort of adherence is legendary and often very useful as is its chemical inertness. But these qualities do have one significant drawback, that polymer...Read more
