PTFE O Ring Kit: The Ultimate Seal for Chemicals, Heat & Pressure

Some environments are just too harsh for standard rubber. If you’re working with acids, fuels, solvents, or superheated steam, you need more than a basic o ring.

You need a PTFE o ring kit—built for extreme resistance, uncompromising sealing, and industry-grade durability.

Let’s look at when, where, and why you should use PTFE o rings—and how they compare to traditional rubber materials.

What is a PTFE o ring kit?

A PTFE o ring kit includes multiple sizes of o rings made from polytetrafluoroethylene—a chemically inert, non-elastic, and high-temperature-resistant polymer.

Also known as Teflon o rings, PTFE o rings are widely used in:

• Chemical processing
• Food and pharmaceutical manufacturing
• High-temperature steam systems
• Aerospace and laboratory seals

Unlike NBR or Viton, PTFE doesn’t degrade when exposed to aggressive chemicals or extreme heat.

When should I use PTFE instead of rubber o rings?

Use PTFE when:

• Operating temperatures exceed 200°C
• Sealing against aggressive media: acids, alkalis, fuels
• You need low friction and zero contamination
• Compression set or chemical attack is an issue

How does PTFE compare to Viton and NBR?

PTFE is ideal when nothing else survives—but it’s less flexible and harder to install.

For high-temperature flexibility, try our
Viton O Ring Kit.

Are PTFE o rings reusable?

Yes—PTFE o rings are chemically stable and have a long service life.

But be cautious:

• Do not reuse if distorted or scratched
• Always inspect the groove for sharp edges
• Avoid using in dynamic seals unless specifically designed

PTFE performs best in static or low-motion sealing.

What’s included in a PTFE o ring kit?

Our PTFE kits include up to 30 common sizes in either metric or inch standards.

We can mix PTFE and rubber o rings in one kit for distributors and repair teams.

Is PTFE food-grade and FDA approved?

Yes. Virgin PTFE is:

• FDA 21 CFR 177.1550 compliant
• Chemically inert
• Non-stick and non-contaminating
• Safe for CIP and SIP processes in food, pharma, biotech

We offer food-grade kits on request for equipment manufacturers.

What are PTFE o rings best used for?

Top use cases:

• Chemical tanks and valves
• Steam sterilization systems
• Instrumentation and gauges
• Aerospace components
• UV or radiation-exposed systems
• Food and beverage piping

Final Thoughts on PTFE O Ring Kits

PTFE o rings are not a rubber substitute—they’re an upgrade.
If your system deals with chemicals, pressure, heat, or contamination risk, a PTFE o ring kit gives you peace of mind and performance others can’t.
