PCTFE
PCTFE is a fluoropolymer with exceptional low-temperature properties and chemical resistance, making it ideal for cryogenic applications. It is highly resistant to most chemicals and has excellent dimensional stability. PCTFE is available in various forms, including rods, sheets, and machined components, tailored to meet the demands of industries such as aerospace, chemical processing, and medical technology.Available variations include:Unfilled PCTFE: Provides the highest purity and is ideal for applications requiring extreme chemical resistance.Glass-filled PCTFE: Reinforced for increased stiffness and reduced deformation under load.
