Ideal for various industrial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eMaterial Properties\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePTFE, or Polyetrafluorethylene, is a thermally stable plastic with a melting point of 327°C and Shore D hardness. It exhibits excellent dielectric properties and is suitable for high-temperature applications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eAdvantages and Disadvantages\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePTFE sheets offer low friction and high chemical resistance, making them ideal for sliding applications. However, they have low tensile strength and can be soft, potentially distorting when clamped.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eCommon uses for PTFE sheets include plain bearings, slide plates, and laboratory containers. They are also utilized in optical radiometry for measuring light due to their ability to diffuse light effectively.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eMachining and Bonding\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eMachining PTFE can be challenging due to its softness and low friction. Surface preparation is necessary for bonding, with specific adhesives available for effective attachment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSafety Considerations\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePTFE can emit toxic fumes when heated above 400°C. Care should be taken during machining to avoid contact with high temperatures, as PTFE dust can be hazardous.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eMaterial: Polyetrafluorethylene (PTFE)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMelting Point: 327°C\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eShore Hardness: Shore D\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThermal Conductivity: 0.20 J(g*K)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAvailable Thicknesses: 0.5mm to 50mm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eColour: White (natural)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eIdeal for high-temperature applications\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReduces wear in sliding applications\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSafe for use in laboratory environments\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers excellent insulation properties\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eUse Cases\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePlain bearings\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSlide plates\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLaboratory containers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOptical radiometry applications\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can PTFE sheet be used in food applications?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes, PTFE is commonly used in cookware and is safe for food applications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is PTFE sheet chemically resistant?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: PTFE is resistant to most chemicals, with few exceptions at high temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Industrial Polymers","offers":[{"title":"300 x 300 x 40mm","offer_id":56379709096315,"sku":"PLC_IPL3342","price":1019.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"600 x 300 x 40mm","offer_id":56379709129083,"sku":"PLC_IPL3343","price":1853.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"300 x 300 x 50mm","offer_id":56379709161851,"sku":"PLC_IPL3344","price":1256.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"600 x 300 x 50mm","offer_id":56379709194619,"sku":"PLC_IPL3345","price":2285.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0579\/7776\/6024\/files\/39471aa125f519ad44c7f8308cde44b5.png?v=1786795448","url":"https:\/\/industrial-polymers.co.uk\/products\/ptfe-sheet-300-x-300-x-40mm-for-high-temperature-applications-40mm-to-50mm-thick","provider":"Industrial-polymers ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
