About
PTFE
Polytetrafluoroethylene
(PTFE) is a fully fluorinated polymer with exceptional chemical
and physical properties: excellent chemical resistance, high
temperature stability, good dielectric and non-stick properties
and exceptional resistance to degeneration of mechanical properties
under severe conditions.
Material made from expanded
PTFE (ePTFE) offers you more than the standard properties
of PTFE. Expanded PTFE is soft, flexible and porous. Porous
PTFE is permeable to air, yet watertight under low pressure.
The structure of porous
PTFE is key. IPE manufactures material which can be collapsed
longitudinally without significant change in external diameter.
