PTFE
Teflon, scientifically known as Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE sheets), is one of the most advanced engineering polymers, renowned for its unmatched chemical resistance, non-stick surface, and exceptional thermal and electrical stability. These unique properties make it an ideal material for precision industrial applications that demand reliable performance in harsh environments.
PTFE (Teflon) is one of the most chemically inert materials, as it does not react with most chemicals even under high temperatures and pressures. This makes it an ideal choice for use in chemical systems and industrial laboratories that require materials capable of withstanding continuous exposure to strong acids, alkalis, and organic solvents.
El Sharq Company offers a comprehensive range of Braided PTFE and Braided PTFE resistant to heat that are specifically designed for high-performance applications requiring exceptional resistance. Our premium-quality PTFE sheets are also available to meet the demands of harsh industrial environments.
Thermally, Teflon maintains its physical and chemical properties across a wide temperature range, remaining stable from -180°C to 260°C without losing its strength or becoming brittle. Additionally, it is non-flammable, making it ideal for use in the electrical and electronics industries, where it is used to manufacture wire and cable insulation, electronic circuits, and heat-resistant components.
As part of El Sharq for Metals and Industrial Supplies‘ solutions, we offer high-quality Teflon materials, including Teflon rods and Teflon sheets, known for their exceptional chemical inertness and low friction coefficient, making them ideal for precise industrial applications and mechanical systems operating under demanding conditions.
