About Plastic

About Durometer Hardness Scales

PTFE has a naturally slippery surface that allows objects to easily slide across it. It resists most solvents and stands up to extreme temperatures. It’s also an excellent electrical insulator.

Film with a smooth texture is skived, so the edges may curl.

Gasket Tape for Pipe Flanges

Because this expanded PTFE tape is thicker than other gasket tape, it fills the irregularities on rough-surfaced flanges when compressed for a tight seal. This gasket tape is chemically inert, except to molten alkali metal and elemental fluorine.

Gasket tape that is FDA Compliant 21 CFR 177.1550 is for use with food and beverage.

Gasket Tape

Very soft and conformable, this expanded PTFE gasket tape compresses into an extremely thin profile. Use it to create a leak-resistant seal in tight-tolerance applications, such as on precision machinery. This tape is chemically inert, except to molten alkali metal and elemental fluorine.

Gasket tape that is made with FDA-listed material is for use with food and beverage.

Slippery High-Temperature Plastic Trim

This trim withstands temperatures up to 500° F, which is generally twice as high as our other slippery trim. Made of PTFE, it has a slippery surface to minimize friction between parts and is often used on conveyor rails, chutes, and guides. It's also chemical resistant. This trim has a hard or medium-hard rating to withstand high levels of impact. The harder the trim, the more impact it withstands. All of the trim is nonmarking.

Very flexible trim can be bent around tight corners.

Adhesive-back trim allows for easy installation. It is not for use outdoors.

Porous PTFE Adhesive-Back Discs

Color: White
Maximum Temperature: 250° F

Stick these discs onto breather and other circular vents to guard against water and dirt without obstructing flow. Often used in the electronic and automotive industries, they have very small holes so air, gas, and vapor can still pass through. These discs are made of PTFE to wick water away. They also won’t break down from most chemicals, except alkali metal and high-temperature fluorinated agents.

IP rated except for their adhesive, all seal out dust and stand up to some submersion. IP65-rated discs also handle low-pressure washdowns, while IP66-rated discs withstand high-pressure washdowns.
