PTFE seal products are one of the heavier plastic products. They have unique features such as wide operating temperature range (-250~260°C), stable chemical properties, excellent dielectric properties, self-lubrication, anti-sticking and corrosion resistance. performance and therefore widespread adoption. PTFE seals are widely used in many industries due to their unique physical and chemical properties. According to current information and common application cases, the following industries have particularly significant demand for PTFE seals:
- Petrochemical industry:The petrochemical industry is one of the main application fields of PTFE seals. Since most petrochemical products are corrosive, and PTFE materials have excellent chemical corrosion resistance, PTFE seals play a key role in sealing equipment such as reactors, storage tanks, and transportation pipelines to ensure the continuity and stability of the production process. safety.
- Pharmaceutical industry: The pharmaceutical industry has extremely high requirements for sealing materials, because any small leakage may lead to contamination of medicines. With its good chemical resistance and low friction coefficient, PTFE seals are widely used in pharmaceutical equipment to seal key parts to ensure the purity of drugs and the reliability of the production process.
- Electric power industry:In the electric power industry, PTFE seals are often used for sealing key equipment such as generators, steam turbines, and hydraulic turbines. These equipment need to withstand harsh conditions such as high temperature and high pressure during work. PTFE seals, with their high temperature and high pressure resistance properties, can effectively prevent medium leakage and ensure the stable operation of the equipment.
In addition, PTFE seals are also widely used in the aviation field, food processing industry, medical field, electronics industry, automotive industry and energy industry. For example, in the aviation field, PTFE is widely used in sealing parts of aero engines and rocket engines due to its excellent thermal stability and chemical stability; in the medical field, PTFE is used in sealing components due to its biocompatibility and corrosion resistance. It is used to make medical devices such as surgical gloves, catheters and stents; in the energy industry, PTFE materials are used to make blade seals and components for nuclear reactors in wind power and nuclear energy.
To sum up, PTFE seals are widely used in multiple industries, but which industry has the most applications may vary depending on factors such as region, market demand, and industry development status. The petrochemical, pharmaceutical and power industries are currently known to have a greater demand for PTFE seals.
