High-purity PTFE products are used in medical, laboratory, scientific, and other applications where cleanliness is essential. They’re made of specialized grades of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a synthetic fluoropolymer that’s available under a variety of brand names, including Teflon® from DuPont**. Interstate Specialty Products die cuts high-purity PTFE products at its ISO 13485:2016 facility in Sutton, Massachusetts and has additional packaging and assembly capabilities for sensitive components.
What Is High-Purity PTFE?
Advantages of High-Purity PTFE:
provides chemical resistance
thermal stability
cryogenic properties
a low coefficient of friction
high surface resistivity
flame resistance
a low dielectric constant
High-purity PTFE materials are processed in a strictly-controlled cleanroom environment that prevents the introduction of impurities, such as carbon-based contaminants. Production occurs with minimal material handling, and high-quality resins are used for enhanced material properties. Materials are traceable and static dissipative grades are available.
Types of High-Purity PTFE Materials
High-purity PTFE products are made from virgin materials or specialized compounds. Typically, these compounds are customized or enhanced with fillers.
Glass fiber and carbon fillers are used to increase the compressive strength of high-purity PTFE
Bronze and molybdenum sulfite fillers increase hardness or stiffness
Graphite reduces the coefficient of friction
High-purity PTFE products can also be made from materials that are FDA approved or that meet ASTM or NSF standards.
Clean Room Manufacturing
Interstate Specialty Products die cuts high-purity PTFE products from molded sheets or continuous rolls of materials. Our cleanroom manufacturing capabilities include precision die cutting and rotary die cutting under controlled temperature and humidity. As a verified and certified ISO 13485:2016 facility, we’ve proven that our cleanroom room die cutting services meet strict requirements for medical device manufacturing.
Applications for High-Purity PTFE Parts
In addition to medical, laboratory, and scientific applications, high-purity PTFE products are used in semiconductor manufacturing and with electrical and electronic equipment. With its excellent insulation and dielectric properties, very smooth surfaces, and low friction, high-purity PTFE products are used in insulators and as other equipment components.
