PTFE Products
A polymer with exceptional chemical resistance, Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), is the most widely used plastic for industrial sealing. The only media that can chemically attack PTFE are liquid alkaline metals and free fluorine. PTFE has excellent properties for electrical insulation, anti-stick, impact resistance and an extremely low coefficient of friction.
Sheets and Gaskets
1500
Style 1500 PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is a high molecular weight polymer and one of the most versatile plastics known to man. Style 1500 virgin PTFE sheet can handle virtually all chemicals in the 0-14 pH range with the exception of molten alkali metals and elemental fluorine. It is suitable for service at temperatures from the cryogenic range up to 500°F.
1525
Style 1525 PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is a high molecular weight polymer and one of the most versatile plastics known to man. This PTFE sheet is filled with 25% glass fibers by weight. The filled material significantly reduces cold flow and creep and increases wear resistance compared to unfilled PTFE sheet. It can handle a very broad range of chemicals with the exception of molten alkali metals and elemental fluorine.
TF 1550
Style TF1550 PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is a high molecular weight polymer and one of the most versatile plastics known to man. This sheet can handle virtually all chemicals in the 0-14 pH range with the exception of molten alkali metals and elemental fluorine. It is suitable for service at temperatures from the cryogenic range up to 500°F.
TF 1560
TF 1560 is a structured PTFE – Gasket – Sheet manufactured by a unique process, which provides a high level of fibrillation to overcome the creep relaxation and cold flow problems associated with normal (skived or molded) PTFE sheets. This style is produced from virgin PTFE resin without fillers or additives.

Tealon TF 1570
Tealon TF1570 is filled with glass microspheres and is suitable for aggressive chemical applications. It meets FDA conformance for service within food and pharmaceutical applications. TF1570 is the preferred material for fragile flanges, glass lined equipament or other applications that require higher compressibility.
Tealon TF 1580
Tealon TF 1580 is filled with barium sulfate and is suitable for strong caustic fluids. It meets FDA conformance for service within food and pharmaceutical applications. 1580 can be used in a wide range of applications due to its vast resistance to most chemical products. It is compatible with strong acids along with strong caustics, making it the most diverse material within the Tealon family.
Tealon TF1590
Tealon TF1590 is filled with silica and meets a wide range of aplications. It is suitable for general service, strong acids and moderate caustic solutions. It meets FDA conformance for service within food and pharmaceutical applications. TF1590 has easily passed the Hot Compression Test with outstanding results.
TF 1572 SAN
TEALON TF 1572 SAN is suitable for service with a wide variety of aggressive media, but is specifically formulated to allow compliance for drinking water system components with NSF-61, from source to tap. Certification to NSF-61 provides assurance to a highest level that TF 1572 SAN is safe for use in drinking water service.
