National Fluoromers is a trusted manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of Glass Filled PTFE, engineered for enhanced mechanical properties without compromising PTFE’s inherent chemical resistance and temperature stability. By incorporating 15–25% glass fiber into virgin PTFE, this filled grade delivers superior compressive strength, wear resistance, and low deformation under load.

Glass Filled PTFE is widely used in gaskets, seals, valve seats, and bushings where structural stability and resistance to aggressive environments are critical.

What is Glass Filled PTFE?

Glass Filled PTFE is a composite material created by reinforcing PTFE with finely milled glass fibers. This blend results in a significantly more dimensionally stable and rigid product that maintains excellent chemical inertness, thermal stability, and non-stick behavior.

It is ideal for static and semi-dynamic applications that require strength, wear resistance, and high-temperature durability.

Key Features
  • Enhanced compressive strength and hardness
  • Excellent wear resistance in static applications
