Teflon packings

Teflon packings are robust and versatile sealings that are perfectly suited for commercial operation in extreme-industrial environments. Made from high-grade PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), these are famous for their excellent chemical inertnes and low friction with extreme temperatures and pressures.

Teflon Packings

Following are the characteristic features of Teflon packings

  • Excellent Chemical Resistance: Generally, inert to most chemicals.
  • Wide Temperature Range: It works efficiently between -200°C and 260°C.
  • Low Friction: It reduces wear and tear on equipment, ensuring smooth operation.
  • Non-Stick Surface: It prevents the buildup of residues, enhancing efficiency and longevity.
  • Food-Grade Option: It is suitable for hygienic applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Applications of Teflon Packings

  • Chemical Processing: It ensures reliable sealing in aggressive chemical environments.
  • Oil & Gas: It handles high-pressure and high-temperature conditions in pumps and valves.
  • Pharmaceutical: Seals critical processes, ensuring cleanliness with no contamination.
  • Food & Beverage: Meets hygienic standards for use in food-grade equipment.
  • Power Generation: Functions optimally even under intense thermal and mechanical conditions.

Advantages of Teflon Packing

  • Long-Lasting Durability: Resistant to wear, ensuring extended service life.
  • Customizable Solutions: Possibilities in any desired shape, size, and composition
  • Eco-Friendly and Safe: The material is non-toxic and meets the standards set for environmental and safety criteria.
  • High Performance: Withstands pressure and temperature shock.
