PTFE is commonly used as a slide plate. This material has the lowest coefficient of friction among all plastics. The material is therefore ideal for sliding applications. PTFE is characterized by the following characteristics:
Low Friction
Chemical Resistance
Non-Adhesiveness
High-Temperature Resistance:
Electrical Insulation
Low Permeability to Gases
Self-Lubricating
Thermal Insulation
Biocompatibility
Food Safety
Weather Resistance
