Teflon™ PTFE Staple Fibers

Unique, Non-Woven Felts for Demanding Applications

Crimped and cut in various lengths, Teflon™ PTFE staple fibers are transformed into non-woven felts for heavy- duty industrial filtration applications. The non-woven felts meet a variety of industry challenges, large and small, including making components for friction control. Meeting ever-expanding needs, our staple fibers are ready to be put to the test every day.

Collecting the Finest Particles from Difficult Environments

Teflon™ PTFE fiber filters have been used in the harshest chemical, thermal and radioactive environments, such as coal-fired power plants, incinerators and in recovery facilities for the chemical industry. Even at temperatures as extreme as 500°F (260°C)—with spikes as high as 550°F (288°C)—PTFE fiber filters stand up to virtually any chemical substance. As a result, they make it possible to eliminate the nest particles of dust, even sub-micron particulates.
