PTFE Products
PTFE Products Overview
Baillie Advanced Materials offers a comprehensive portfolio of PTFE products designed to deliver exceptional performance in demanding industrial and technical applications. PTFE is valued for its unique combination of properties, including outstanding chemical stability, excellent electrical performance, superior heat resistance, and extremely low friction. These materials also exhibit non-stick characteristics and a low dielectric constant, making them ideal for a wide range of mechanical, electrical, and chemical environments.
Our PTFE product portfolio is available in five primary resin families:
Granular Molding Powders
Fine Powders
Micropowders
Granular Molding Powders
PTFE granular molding powders are commonly used in compression molding and ram extrusion processes. These materials are well suited for the production of packings, gaskets, diaphragms, bellows, corrosion-resistant linings, piping components, pump parts, O-rings, V-rings, bushings, and slide bearings. They are also used in electrical and electronic applications including insulating skived tape, insulating sleeves, terminals, connectors, sockets, spacers, electronic components, and laboratory equipment.
Fine Powders
PTFE fine powders are produced by coagulating PTFE aqueous dispersions and are typically processed through paste extrusion. These materials are widely used for wire and cable insulation, tubing, battery binders and PTFE tape. They are particularly suitable for applications requiring resistance to soldering temperatures, high operating temperatures, or harsh chemical environments. Also used in a variety of medical and apparel applications.
Wire and cable insulation can be produced through direct extrusion or tape wrapping. PTFE tape is also commonly used as a thread sealant, often referred to as plumber’s tape. PTFE tubing produced from fine powder resins is used across a wide range of industries, including pharmaceutical manufacturing, ultra-pure chemical handling, aerospace and automotive overbraided tubing, heat-shrinkable tubing, and push-pull cable systems.
Micropowders
PTFE micropowder is an ultra-fine resin with very small particle size (approximately 5 microns) and low molecular weight. Often referred to as PTFE wax, micropowder is widely used as a dry lubricant or as a performance additive in plastics, elastomers, coatings, inks, lubricating oils, and greases.
