PTFE Bolts

Outstanding chemical resistance at elevated temperatures

• Virtually inert to most organics, acids and bases
• Usable up to 260°C / 500°F but weakens significantly
• Excellent electrical insulator
• High purity for sensitive pharmaceutical and food type applications

PTFE bolts are made from the fluoropolymer polytetrafluoroethylene and are known for being exceptionally corrosion resistant and inert at elevated temperatures. PTFE bolts are inert to most chemical environments including organics, acids, bases, mixed chemicals and hydrofluoric acid. Additionally, PTFE bolts are bio-inert and will not leach into or contaminate sensitive pharmaceuticals or food based products.

Compared to other high-performance polymer bolts like PEEK or PVDF, PTFE bolts offer the best all-around corrosion resistance, especially at elevated temperatures. However, the trade-off for its extraordinary corrosion resistance is the lower tensile strength compared to PVDF or PEEK bolts.

Bolt Types Available: Hex Bolts, Shoulder Bolts
