RetractaShade™ uses PTFE thread (commonly known as Teflon) for its exceptional durability, resistance, and performance across a wide range of applications. Made from a synthetic fluoropolymer, PTFE thread is the go-to solution for environments that demand high temperature tolerance, chemical resistance, and superior strength.
One of the standout features of PTFE thread is its impressive melting point of 327 degrees Celsius, making it one of the most heat-resistant materials available. This high-temperature tolerance ensures that PTFE thread performs reliably in demanding environments such as automotive and aerospace applications, where exposure to extreme heat is common.
PTFE thread is highly resistant to chemical attack, remaining inert to most acids, bases, and organic solvents. This chemical resistance makes it an excellent choice for use in pharmaceutical and food processing industries, where exposure to corrosive substances is a concern. Its non-reactive nature ensures that it maintains its integrity and performance in even the harshest chemical environments.
