The most outstanding characteristics are:

• high heat resistance
• high resistance to chemical agents and solvents
• high antiadhesiveness
• high dielectric properties
• low friction coefficient
• non-toxicity.

PTFE is generally considered a thermoplastic polymer; at 327°C, it maintains, a very high viscosity, thus requiring particular transformation techniques for manufacturing of finished and semi-finished goods. PTFE can be employed at any temperature from -200°C to +260°C.

During more than 35 years, LANZA (a division of GAPI) has developed manufacturing processes and production control techniques to insure the highest quality PTFE products in the market.
