PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) by ALPANA is a high-performance polymeric material known for its exceptional chemical inertness, thermal resistance, and record-low coefficient of friction among all engineering materials. Thanks to these properties, PTFE functions reliably where other polymers, metals, or elastomers fail — under exposure to acids, alkalis, solvents, extreme temperatures, or in applications requiring ultra-low friction and non-stick behavior.
The ALPANA PTFE range includes several optimized grades — PTFE-1, PTFE-2, PTFE-3, and PTFE-4 — each tailored for specific operating conditions. The base material can be modified with high-performance fillers such as bronze, carbon, glass fiber, graphite, and others, significantly enhancing mechanical strength, heat resistance, wear resistance, and dimensional stability. Thanks to its unique combination of versatility, durability, and functional properties, ALPANA’s PTFE is used in the most critical components and systems that require maximum resistance and precision in aggressive or extreme environments.
