Virgin PTFE
Virgin
polytetrafluoroethylene
100% PTFE- Our standard seat material. Ideal for most sanitary
services. Specified for applications requiring a low co-efficient of
friction.
Food Grade Material
G
RTFE
15% glass reinforced
tetrafluoroethylene
15% glass filled + 85% PTFE - Slightly higher temperature and
pressure rating than PTFE. Specified for applications requiring
higher cycle life than PTFE.
Food Grade Material
C 25% Carbon PTFE 25% carbon reinforced
tetrafluoroethylene
25% carbon +75% PTFE - Specified for higher temperature
pressure applications. Ideal for steam and thermal fluid
applications. Higher cycle life than RTFE.
S Stainless Steel PTFE 50% stainless steel filled
tetrafluoroethylene
50% stainless steel + 50% PTFE - Specified for higher
temperature pressure applications in a sanitary process.
Food Grade Material
U
UHMW Ultra-high molecular weight
polyethylene
Specified for its low modulus of abrasion and minimal property
degradation when exposed to moderate levels of radiation. Ideal
for applications where fluorocarbons are not acceptable.
