CNC Machining in Teflon (PTFE) – Chemically Inert & Ultra-Slippery

High-performance plastic for low-friction, high-temperature, and chemically resistant parts.

What Is Teflon (PTFE) and Why Use It?

Teflon (PTFE) is a high-performance fluoropolymer known for its exceptional chemical resistance and non-stick surface. It's a top choice for CNC machined parts in environments where lubricity, high temperature, and corrosion resistance are critical. Benefits include:

  • Chemically inert and corrosion-proof
  • Very low coefficient of friction
  • Excellent thermal stability up to 260°C
  • Non-stick, self-lubricating surface

Why Choose Us

  • 🧪 Chemically Inert for Harsh Environments
  • 💧 Ultra-Low Friction and Non-Stick
  • 🔥 High Temperature Stability
  • 📁 Support for Complex PTFE Designs
Where This Material Excels
  • Chemical Handling Components – Pumps, seals, insulators

  • Food & Pharma Equipment – Non-reactive and FDA-compliant

  • High-Temperature Insulators – Retains properties up to 260°C

Machined for Performance in Harsh Environments

Our CNC techniques for PTFE reduce tool wear while ensuring a clean, accurate finish on soft materials. We maintain stability through proper fixturing and use finishing passes to deliver consistent, burr-free parts.
