PTFE is a thermoplastic, however, due to its high viscosity it cannot be processed using conventional polymer processing techniques. PTFE is processed by cold moulding followed by heat treatment (Sintering) during which polymer particles fuse to form a solid moulding.

When machining PTFE it is essential to design your application with PTFE’s inherent properties in mind, rath... Read more...
