e ptfe

Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) is a very special material that benefits from some really unique characteristics. The specific material is made by pulsing a super-thin polymer called PTFE till it becomes even thin than human hair! Stretching the pipe produces this unique set of attributes, which proves to be beneficial in different areas that use ePTFE.

One of the most interesting attributes of ePTFE is that it sticks to nothing. Which aside from meaning nothing sticks to it, yes that is why you often see them used in cooking pans and baking sheets. ePTFE is waterproof and inert under extreme temperatures, industrial level or very low pH conditions, resisting chemicals even for use in chemical labs as well outer space!

Automotive Industry: Using ePTFE for Smooth Running Engines

This brand of bio-inert ePTFE has revolutionized the impact on industrial need. Within the automotive sector, ePTFE is used to create gaskets and components used in engines, sealing them well so that leaks do not occur; this makes vehicles run smoothly. The construction industry also uses ePTFE for creating roofing membranes, which protect large buildings from the outside while being durable as well as UV resistant so it lasts longer than traditional membrane roofs.

It can also be considered that in the field of medical science ePTFE has created a revolution. Its main achievements are in the creation of artificial blood vessels. Now, in the case when patients need new blood vessels (for any medical reason), doctors could utilize ePTFE to form robust and damage-defiant vessels that would allow a quality-of-life far superior than previously imagined, continuing well into the future. In combination, ePTFE is used for making surgical implants like very fine tubes to be inserted in kidney dialysis that are highly blood-clot and infection resistant hence they provide a good environment for low-risk surgeries.
