About Us

Teflon ls The Registered Trade Name Of The Highly Useful Plastic Material Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).

PTFE Is One Of A Class Of Plastics Known As Fluoropolymers. A Polymer is A Compound Formed By A Chemical Reaction Which Combines Particles Into Groups Of Repeating Large Molecules. Many Common Synthetic Fibers Are Polymers, Such As Polyester And Nylon. PTFE is The Polymerized Form Of Tetrafluoroethylene. PTFE Has Many Unique Properties, Which Make it Valuable ln Scores Of Applications. It Has Avey High Melting Point, And is Also Stable At Very Low Temperatures. It Can Be Dissolved By Nothing But Hot Fluorine Gas Or Certain Molten Metals, So It is Extremely Resistant To Corrosion.

It is Also Very Slick And Slippery. This Makes it An Excellent Material For Coating Machine Parts Which Are Subiected To Heat, Wear, And Friction, For Laboratory Equipment Which Must Resist Corrosive Chemicals, And As A Coating For Cookware And utensils. PTFE is Used To Impart Stain-resistance To Fabrics, Carpets, And Wall Coverings, And As Weatherproofing On Outdoor Signs. Ptize Has Low Electrical Conductivity, So it Makes A Good Electrical Insulator. It ls Used To Insulate Much Data Communication Cable, And lt ls Essential To The Manufacture Of Semi-conductors.PTFE is Also Found in A Variety Of Medical Applications, Such As in Vascular Grafts. A Fiber glass Fabric With PTFE Coating Serves To Protect The Roofs Of Airports And Stadiums. PTFE Can Even Be Incorporated Into Fiber For Weaving socks.The Low Friclion of The PTFE Makes The socks Exceplionally smooth, Protecling Feet From Blisters.

PTFE Prossesses Several Properties That Make lt Suitable For Manufacturing A Wide Range Of Products:
• Chemical resistance to a wide range of substances including vegetable oils, aldehyades, acids and ketones
• Insolubility
• Incombustibility (can tolerate temperature up to 260 degrees Celsius)
• Low coefficient of friction

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and is known for being one of the most versatile plastics availcible.

Our products are manufactured to exacting standards at quantities to suit your needs. All of our machined parts are made to order so you get exactly what you're looking for to suit your specific industry application. We can design custom machined parts to suit a wide range of uses or manufacture based on your own drawings. There really is almost nothing we cannot manufacture in plastics.

Below is a short introduction to some of the products areas our experrise covers.

Our range of Fluoropolymer materials include semi-finished rod, tube and sheet in PTFE, PEEK, PFA, FEP, PCTFE, Nylon, PP and many others.

Fluoropolymers are commonly used in applications that require chemical resistance, sealing at temperature etc. We offer a range of compression moulded PTFE tube in Virgin PTFE and have developed our own "AF" range of filled PTFE compounds, with in-house moulding capability up to 1000mm diameter. All materials manufactured or supplied by AFT Fluorotec are fully certified and tested.

We've worked with clients to create complex components from a wide variely of materials and in many cases, been able lo deliver solulions that other suppliers couldn't. For more information about our machining capabilities, check out our over view or contact us to discuss your project.
