T101 Teflon® Virgin

T101 Teflon® Virgin is a tough high temperature material offering the widest range of applications. Resistant to almost all chemicals (only solid alkalies can attack Teflon), its very low coefficient of friction and high impact resistance make it suitable for wide chemical exposure situations, with emphasis on temperature extremes.

T101 is used for spring-energized seals, V-packings, 0-rings, back-up rings, valve seats & seals and machined components used in the chemical industry, food processing equipment and other high temperature and low friction sealing applications. Particular care should be taken to avoid nicking or scratching Teflon seals, as imperfections will cause leakage. Virgin Teflon has the tendency to cold flow over time under load or pressure. Filled Teflon is therefore required in critical sealing situations.

Temperature Range: -328°F to 500°F (-200°C to 260°C)
