Description
PTFE Screws | High-Performance Fluoropolymer Fasteners
PTFE screws, also known as PTFE fasteners or fluoropolymer screws, are specialized non-metallic fasteners designed for use in highly demanding environments. Manufactured from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), these screws provide a unique combination of chemical resistance, thermal stability, low friction, and electrical insulation. Unlike traditional metal fasteners, PTFE bolts and screws will not corrode, seize, or contaminate sensitive systems, making them the preferred choice for industries that require both performance and reliability.
Why Choose PTFE Screws?
-
Superior Chemical Resistance – Ideal for applications exposed to acids, bases, solvents, and corrosive media.
-
Wide Temperature Range – Reliable operation from -200°C to +250°C, suitable for both cryogenic and high-temperature environments.
-
Non-Stick & Low Friction Surface – Prevents galling and material buildup, ensuring smooth installation and removal.
-
Electrical Insulation – 100% non-conductive, perfect for electronics and semiconductor equipment.
-
Lightweight & Non-Magnetic – Safer and easier to handle than metal fasteners in sensitive environments.
-
UV & Weather Resistant – Withstands outdoor and long-term exposure without degradation.
-
FDA & Medical Grade Compatibility – Non-toxic and biocompatible, suitable for medical, food, and pharmaceutical applications.
