PTFE is a highly durable plastic that is extruded from chemically inert compound and offers a vast amount of benefits making it suitable for a wide range of applications. One of the key features PTFE offers is that it has a very wide operating temperature range, with a melting point of up to +250ºc. Furthermore, the material also has a very high chemical resistance ensuring that it remains durable and efficient. PTFE also has excellent co-efficiency of friction, meaning that other materials won't stick to it which is essential for medical purposes.
