If your seal needs to resist acids, solvents, or 260 °C heat, a PTFE o ring kit is your go‑to solution. Whether you're in chemical processing or high-pressure environments, this kit offers unmatched reliability.

PTFE O Ring Kits are engineered for extreme resistance to heat, pressure, and corrosive media—far beyond what rubber can handle.

What is a PTFE o ring kit?

A PTFE o ring kit includes multiple sizes of o rings made from polytetrafluoroethylene—a non-elastic, chemically inert, and high-temperature-resistant material often referred to as Teflon.

These kits are ideal for:

• Chemical plants and refineries
• Food and pharmaceutical processing
• Steam systems and boilers
• Aerospace and precision lab equipment

Compared to rubber kits, PTFE doesn’t degrade in harsh environments.

When should I choose PTFE over rubber o rings?

Choose PTFE if you're dealing with:

• Temperatures above 200°C
• Acids, alkalis, solvents, fuels
• Cleanroom or low-friction sealing
• Long-term static sealing where compression set matters

How does PTFE compare to Viton and NBR o rings?

For high-temperature flexibility, our Viton O Ring Kit might be the better choice.

Are PTFE o rings reusable?

Yes, PTFE o rings can often be reused—especially in static applications.

But I’ve seen failures due to improper reuse. Here's what to watch for:

• Scratches or deformation
• Over-compression from prior use
• Burrs or sharp edges in the groove
• Thermal expansion fatigue

Use fresh o rings for critical jobs, or inspect thoroughly.

What sizes are included in a PTFE o ring kit?

Our standard kits come pre-packed or can be customized for OEM use:

Is PTFE food-grade and FDA approved?

Yes—virgin PTFE complies with:

• FDA 21 CFR 177.1550
• EU 10/2011
• NSF, USP standards on request

This makes PTFE kits suitable for:

• Food processing equipment
• Dairy pipelines and valves
• Pharmaceutical and biotech

We also offer full documentation for regulatory audits.

What are the best use cases for PTFE o rings?

Based on my experience, top use cases include:

• High-temperature autoclaves
• Chemical transport valves
• UV-exposed sealing (solar, laser systems)
• Aerospace and fuel injection lines
• Static sealing in laboratory equipment

PTFE's strength is long-lasting performance in corrosive or high-heat environments.

Final Thoughts on PTFE O Ring Kits

PTFE o rings aren’t for every system—but if you deal with chemicals, steam, or pressure, they’re unmatched in durability and safety.

Don’t gamble with rubber where PTFE is required. Get the right tool for the job.
