PTFE is an extremely versatile material for sealing technologies and can be employed in nearly all sealing applications. It is suitable for a wide range of temperatures, from very low to very high, with PTFE flat gaskets operating at temperatures from -200°C (-328°F) to +260°C (500°F), maintaining stability across virtually the entire pH spectrum.
It remains indestructible even when exposed to most of the harshest chemicals and is non-flammable. PTFE is resistant to oxidants and UV radiation and does not age, weather, or corrode.
The only drawback is its tendency to flow and creep under stress, which may necessitate regular maintenance.
