PTFE Seals

Independent Seal manufactures custom PTFE rotary lip seals designed for durability and high performance. These seals feature a strong combination of mild carbon steel (CRS) or 304 stainless steel with a PTFE lip element. PTFE offers excellent chemical resistance and low friction, making it ideal for applications like PTFE rotary shaft seals and PTFE spring seals. Built for demanding environments, these seals ensure long-lasting reliability.

About PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)

PTFE is a material that is well-known due to its outstanding resistance to chemical attack and its low-friction properties. flexible fluoropolymer, which is great for sealing jobs with a great deal of work. This unique molecular design of PTFE offers an exceptional resistance to chemicals and temperatures and environmental elements. This makes it the ideal material to use in critical industrial processes.

Properties of PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)

• Operating Temperature Range:
  • Continuous: -100°F to 500°F
  • Can withstand higher temperatures for short durations
• Resistance:
  • Excellent resistance to chemicals, including acids, bases, and solvents
  • Non-reactive with most substances, including hydrocarbons and oils
  • Low friction coefficient, reducing wear and extending seal life
• Mechanical Properties:
  • Exceptional flexibility and elasticity
  • High tensile strength and durability
  • Minimal cold flow and creep, maintaining dimensional stability

Benefits of PTFE Seals

PTFE seals offer several advantages that make them invaluable tools in various industrial settings:

1.Chemical Compatibility: PTFE’s inert nature ensures compatibility with various chemicals and fluids, keeping seal integrity and performance uncompromised.

2.Temperature Resistance: Seals that can withstand extreme temperatures without losing effectiveness, providing reliable performance in both hot and cold environments

3.Low Friction Coefficients: Decreased friction coefficients reduce heat generation and wear-related costs, prolonging seal life while improving operational efficiency.

4.Versatility: These seals can be found across various industries such as chemical processing, pharmaceuticals and food processing.

5.Customizability: Can be tailored with additives to increase properties such as anti-static characteristics or wear resistance, fulfilling specific application needs.

6.Cost-Effective Solutions: Provide long-term reliability with lower maintenance costs for high returns on investment in critical sealing applications.
