PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) Disk provides polytetrafluoroethylene's exceptional chemical resistance, low coefficient of friction (0.05–0.2), and dielectric strength (up to 170 kV/mm) in a precision-machined circular form, held to a diameter tolerance of ±0.5 mm. This defined geometry makes PTFE Disc particularly well suited to applications requiring accurate, repeatable interfaces: it is widely deployed as thrust washers and bearing pads in rotating equipment exposed to corrosive media, as valve-seat inserts in chemical dosing systems, and as dielectric spacers and standoffs in high-voltage assemblies. In laboratory settings, PTFE disks serve as non-contaminating cover elements in sample vessels and stable substrates for tribological and electrical insulation studies. Their dimensional precision and chemical inertness support both production components and controlled research environments.

Key Features
PTFE Disc provides polytetrafluoroethylene's exceptional chemical resistance, low coefficient of friction, and dielectric performance in a precision-machined circular form, suited to applications requiring accurate and repeatable interfaces in both production and research environments:
Precision Geometry (±0.5 mm Diameter Tolerance)
PTFE Disc is held to a diameter tolerance of ±0.5 mm, providing the dimensional accuracy required for accurate, repeatable interfaces in thrust washers, bearing pads, valve-seat inserts, and dielectric spacers where fit and geometry directly affect component performance.
Low Coefficient of Friction (0.05–0.2)
With a coefficient of friction of 0.05–0.2, PTFE Disc is well suited to thrust washers and bearing pads in rotating equipment exposed to corrosive media, where low friction and chemical resistance must be maintained simultaneously without the need for additional lubrication.
Outstanding Dielectric Strength (up to 170 kV/mm)
PTFE Disc offers dielectric strength up to 170 kV/mm, making it suitable for use as dielectric spacers and standoffs in high-voltage assemblies where reliable electrical isolation in a precisely defined circular geometry is required.
Exceptional Chemical Resistance
PTFE Disc resists virtually all solvents, acids, and corrosive media, supporting its use as valve-seat inserts in chemical dosing systems and as non-contaminating cover elements in laboratory sample vessels where contact with aggressive chemicals must not compromise component integrity or sample purity.
Non-Contaminating for Laboratory & Research Use
PTFE Disc's chemical inertness and non-stick surface make it a reliable non-contaminating cover element and stable substrate for tribological and electrical insulation studies in laboratory settings, where material interaction with samples or test media must be eliminated.
Industrial Applications
PTFE Disc is used across chemical processing, electrical, mechanical, and research applications where precision circular geometry, chemical inertness, and reliable dielectric or tribological performance are required:
✦ Thrust Washers & Bearing Pads
Widely deployed as thrust washers and bearing pads in rotating equipment exposed to corrosive media, where PTFE Disc's low coefficient of friction of 0.05–0.2 and resistance to virtually all solvents and acids ensure reliable low-friction performance without lubrication in chemically aggressive service environments.
✦ Valve-Seat Inserts in Chemical Dosing Systems
Used as valve-seat inserts in chemical dosing systems where the precision circular geometry, chemical inertness, and dimensional accuracy of ±0.5 mm diameter tolerance provide accurate, repeatable seating interfaces resistant to the aggressive chemicals handled in dosing and metering applications.
✦ Dielectric Spacers & Standoffs
Applied as dielectric spacers and standoffs in high-voltage assemblies, where dielectric strength up to 170 kV/mm in a precision circular form provides reliable electrical isolation at defined, repeatable separations between conductors and high-voltage components.
✦ Laboratory Sample Vessel Covers
Used as non-contaminating cover elements in laboratory sample vessels, where PTFE Disc's chemical inertness and non-stick surface ensure that contact with samples does not introduce contamination or alter sample composition during preparation, storage, or analysis.
✦ Tribological & Electrical Insulation Research
Employed as stable substrates for tribological and electrical insulation studies in research environments, where dimensional precision and chemical inertness provide a controlled, reproducible test surface for characterising friction, wear, and dielectric behaviour under defined experimental conditions.
