Why Choose PTFE
Exceptional chemical resistance
Non-wetting surface, resistant to almost all chemicals and solvents.
Broad temperature range
From cryogenic to elevated temperatures with stable performance.
Very low friction
Non-stick behavior, ideal for seals, bearings, and sliding surfaces.
Excellent dielectric properties
High dielectric strength and insulation, suitable for electronics.
Wear performance with fills
Glass, carbon, graphite or bronze filled grades improve wear resistance.
Low moisture absorption
Excellent weathering resistance, stable in humid environments.
Note: PTFE exhibits high thermal expansion and cold flow (creep). Proper design, material selection, and tolerance strategy are essential to achieve stable performance.
PTFE CNC Machining Capabilities
Processes
- CNC milling (multi-axis), CNC turning, drilling, tapping, threading
- Counterboring, counter-sinking, slotting, contouring
- Complex custom machining for prototypes, fixtures, and production parts
Part size range
Small to medium-sized components (from miniature features up to several hundred millimeters), depending on geometry and tolerance needs.
Typical tolerances
- General: ±0.05–0.10 mm for many geometries in virgin PTFE
- Tighter features possible case-by-case with design optimization
- Filled grades often enable slightly better stability
Surface finish
Turning and milling finishes typically Ra 0.8–3.2 μm. Fine finishing, polishing, and controlled deburring available.
Deburring and edge quality
Mechanical deburring and controlled edge breaks to remove feathering. Cryogenic deburring available on request.
Secondary operations
Press-fit or adhesive-bonded metallic inserts, laser/ink marking, assembly, and packaging per customer specification.
PTFE Grades We Machine
We help you select the right grade based on chemical exposure, temperature, friction/wear profile, electrical properties, and dimensional-stability needs.

Valve seats, seals, stem guides
Bearings & bushings
Bushings, bearings, wear rings, low-friction sliders
Pump & compressor parts
Seals, rings, impeller components
Electronics & semiconductor
Insulating blocks, dielectric spacers, wafer handling pads
Lab & medical
Components requiring chemical inertness
Custom profiles
Nozzles, plugs, washers, machined gaskets
Design and Tolerance Guidelines for PTFE
Tolerances and stability
- PTFE’s high thermal expansion and creep can make very tight tolerances unstable over time
- Consider functional tolerances of ±0.05–0.10 mm where possible; discuss tighter features early
- Use GD&T to control critical features (e.g., runout, concentricity) relative to functional datums
Wall thickness and geometry
- Avoid very thin walls (<1.5 mm) and knife edges; add generous fillets and radii
- For thin sections or tall features, consider filled grades to improve stiffness
Threads and fasteners
- Prefer coarse threads, rounded roots/crests, and generous runouts/reliefs
- Consider metallic inserts (knurled/serrated) for repeated assembly; evaluate pull-out/torque
Flatness and deformation
- Large flat surfaces are prone to warp; design with ribs or add functional relief
- Thermal conditioning/annealing before and/or after machining can improve stability
