Teflon PTFE Plastic Ball KXT PB 150
Our high quality PTFE Teflon Balls are well suited for industrial applications that require an inert, chemically resistant ball, with the purity,
specific gravity and wide operating temperature ranges of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) that other plastic balls materials don't provide.
Applications include PTFE balls used in chemical handling pumps, check valves, ball bearings, volume displacement balls for chemical
baths and many other uses.
Available Fillers: Glass, Carbon, Graphite, Bronze and Colors
Advantages
• Good chemical inertness to most corrosive liquids or gases
• Broad operating temperature (-400°F to +500°F)
• PTFE Balls are available in several sizes

• High-Temperature Performance
• Corrosion Resistant
• High-Purity
Application
• Ball valves that have contact with extremely corrosive liquids
• Applications where metals or alloys can not be used
• Volume displacement balls for chemical baths
• Chemical handling pumps
• Diaphragm pump
• Ball bearings
• Check valve
