P.T.F.E

P.T.F.E is the most popular of the fluropolymers.
P.T.F.E suffers high elastic deformity under load which reduces it's effectiveness for bearing applications. It can be filled however, to allow it to be used for more demanding appplications. Filled P.T.F.E is not suitable for food contact and should be used where increased hardness, creep resistance, and a lower wear rate are needed.
