    Chemical-Resistant Ultra-Low-Friction Sheets Made from Teflon® PTFE

    Made with Teflon® PTFE resins, these sheets surpass most plastic when it comes to chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures. In addition to resisting most solvents, they are excellent electrical insulators. They're easy to machine and have a naturally slippery surface that makes them a good choice for bearings, gears, and parts that slide and roll.
    Etched Texture on One Side
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Chemical-Resistant Ultra-Low-Friction Sheets Made from Teflon® PTFE.
    Products with an etched texture have one side that’s scuffed to readily accept an adhesive; the other side is smooth.
    Skived—Skived products are more likely to curl than extruded and molded products.

    Wear-Resistant PTFE Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Wear-Resistant PTFE Sheets.
    These sheets are manufactured from Rulon PTFE, a PTFE that’s been modified with a filler material. In addition to having the superior chemical and temperature resistance of PTFE, they have excellent impact resistance and a super-slippery surface that resists wear. These easy-to-machine sheets are nonabsorbent, so they won’t swell when exposed to water. They’re also good electrical insulators.
    Rulon 142—This grade is often used to fabricate linear slides and piston rings. They have an etched texture on one side that is scuffed to readily accept adhesive; the other side is smooth.
