Unique PTFE Fiber solutions for unique applications
Our customers bring us a wide
variety of fiber design challenges. Thanks to
our extensive experience in ePTFE processing, we
can produce a PTFE based fiber solution of exceptional
consistency by every measure. With our proprietary
compounding technology, we can produce expanded fibers with
highly specific and tightly controlled properties — including exceptional tenacity and high
retained strength after exposure to UV radiation.
Coupled with the hydrophobic nature
and near total chemical inertness of PTFE, qualities
like these can yield important performance benefits — whether
the application is industrial, commercial, or
outdoor.
No compromises.
Plastomer Technologies is commited to following lean manufacturing methodologies in order to make ourselves an
integral, reliable, and cost-effective part
of your supply chain. You can count on getting
the thread and fiber you need, exactly when and where you need it.
How do you want it?
To accommodate your needs and
speed your production, we can supply expanded
PTFE fiber in a variety of custom deniers and
packages. We can also provide a variety of formats:
flat, folded, twisted, and staple.
Our PTFE products offer superior
quality, innovation, and enhanced characteristics.
