Toray PTFE Staple Fibers

Unique, Non-Woven Felts for Demanding Applications

Crimped and cut in various lengths, Toray 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

Toray 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.
