Overview

PTFE diaphragms

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) offer the ultimate chemical resistance and purity. Our PTFE diaphragms are extremely chemically resistant, often used with heptane and methyl chloride.

All our diaphragms are laser-etched with cure dates and batch numbers, ensuring that they are completely traceable.

Features and benefits

  • Not really an elastomer; has cold flow issues that can result in leaking
  • Relatively higher cost to other materials
  • Currently only available for our tank valves
  • All our diaphragms are laser-etched with cure dates and batch numbers, ensuring that they are completely traceable
  • Extremely chemically resistant
  • Extremely steam resistant
  • Only available for tank valves
