    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—Cut from a solid block of material to create a dense product with consistent thickness. However, skived products are more prone to curling than extruded or molded products.

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

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Chemical-Resistant Ultra-Low-Friction Film Made from Teflon® PTFE.
    This film is made with virgin Teflon® PTFE resins. It can handle extreme temperatures and resists most solvents. It’s also an excellent electrical insulator. PTFE has a naturally slippery surface that allows objects to easily slide across it. This film is skived, so the edges may curl.
    Skived—Cut from a solid block of material to create a dense product with consistent thickness. However, skived products are more prone to curling than extruded or molded products.
    Etched Texture—Products with an etched texture have one side that’s scuffed to readily accept an adhesive; the other side is smooth.

    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.
