Description
PTFE SHEET 20 mm thick
PTFE sheet 20 mm; with a length of 600 mm and a width of 600 mm. These 20 mm thick PTFE sheets can be easily processed by cutting, drilling, milling, turning, sawing and punching.
PTFE / Teflon Sheet 20 mm thick
This PTFE sheet 20 mm thick is made by pouring the PTFE resin into a mold and then heating it under high pressure to a high temperature to shape it. This process can produce a solid sheet with a uniform thickness and density.
PTFE sheets, also known as Teflon sheets, are essential for various industrial applications. Made from virgin quality polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), these sheets offer unique properties that make them ideal for demanding environments.
What is PTFE?
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic polymer known for its exceptional chemical resistance, low coefficient of friction and high temperature resistance. This makes PTFE ideal for use in a wide range of industries, including the food industry, mechanical engineering and chemical sector.
√ Excellent chemical resistance
√ Wide temperature range
√ Hydrophobic
√ Very low coefficient of friction
√ Greatest resistance to fatigue
√ Non-flammable
√ FDA approval
√ Low dielectric constant
Key features of PTFE Sheets
1. Temperature resistance
PTFE sheets can withstand a wide temperature range from -190°C to +260°C. This makes them extremely suitable for applications where high temperatures play a role. Temporarily they can withstand temperatures of up to 300°C without losing their structural integrity.
2. Chemical Resistance
One of the most valuable properties of PTFE is its excellent chemical resistance. The material is resistant to almost all chemicals, making it a popular choice in the chemical and food industries. This makes PTFE sheets reliable for use in environments where other materials may fail.
3. Low Coefficient of Friction
PTFE naturally has a very low coefficient of friction, making it ideal for applications where wear and friction can be a problem. This makes it perfect for use as bearing material, seals & gaskets and other moving parts.

Applications of PTFE Sheets
1. Mechanical Engineering
In mechanical engineering, PTFE sheets are often used to make parts that are subject to high wear. Their durability and resistance to high temperatures make them perfect for applications such as sliding bearings and seals.
2. Food industry
Our PTFE plates / sheets are ideally suited for use in the food industry, thanks to their unique properties. They are resistant to high temperatures and have excellent chemical resistance, making them ideal for various food processing applications. Key applications include:
- Support structures in food processing machinery, where high hygiene requirements apply.
- Wear parts such as conveyor belts, guides and seals that come into contact with food. These plates ensure that no contamination occurs and maintain their integrity under harsh conditions.
- Replacements for traditional materials in production processes, where durability and safety are paramount.
PTFE sheets are also easy to clean and maintain, which is crucial in food processing environments. This makes them a reliable choice for manufacturers who meet the high standards of the food industry.

3. Chemical Industry
In the chemical industry, PTFE sheets are often used for seals and gaskets that are resistant to corrosive substances.
Processing of 20 mm PTFE Sheets
1. Machining
PTFE sheets are particularly suitable for machining. Methods such as drilling, milling, turning, sawing and punching are all possible. However, it is important to know that PTFE cannot be welded. When heated to combustion, toxic fluorine fumes can be released.
2. Etching
A unique way to enable bonding of PTFE sheets is by etching them. However, etched PTFE sheets are not a standard stock product, please contact us to discuss the possibilities
