PTFE is outstanding among fluoro-plastics for its exceptional chemical, thermal and dielectric properties.
It is these properties wihich make PTFE ideal for a wide range of tasks in medical applications.
PTFE is almost universally resistant to chemicals and in virgin form can withstand temperatures of between -260C and +300C.
As a result of its physiological neutrality and biocompatibiity several grades of Virgin PTFE have gained FDA approval and GLP certification.
