Unreinforced sheeting material offers strength, chemical resistance
The ability of multiple application structural or sheeting Teflon polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) material to function in severe chemical and mechanical environments at extreme temperatures garnered it a 1995 Chemical Processing Vaaler Award. The 100% Teflon PTFE resin yields sheeting with high levels of tear and tensile strength and a flex life that allows it to be used without additional support. The resin provides chemical resistance, heat sealability, simple fabrication, and rugged construction. The material functions in temperatures to 500 degrees F and has found many uses in the chemical industry like chemical tank covers, drop-in tank liners, flue gas barriers in non-metallic expansion joints, gasketing, pump diaphragms, insulating jacketing and pipe lagging, protective suiting materials, inflatable liners for chemical service, heat-sealed insulation jackets for severe chemical service and many others.
