Bacteria accumulation is a serious issue in the food manufacturing industry - it can ruin product and put consumer health at risk. 

While many people know that Polytetrafluoroeth ylene (PTFE) is an excellent choice for use in products, most do not realize that there exist varying grades of PTFE. Some lower quality PTFE offerings may contain an excessive volume of pores within their structure which can harbor bacteria.

To address this problem, a new manufacturing process is used. It is ideal for use in food, pharmaceuticals and a variety of clean markets.Our product rubber expansion joint use this PTFE.

Distinguished by an extremely low void content, PTFE rubber expansion joint  resists permeation and the accumulation of foreign matter, reducing the risk of harboring unwanted bacteria or residual media.

To achieve this, the unique manufacturing process orients the chains of PTFE in a lattice-like structure that reduces voids in the material and provides it with biaxial strength. This unique structure also delivers a very high flex life.

PTFE rubber expansion joint resists creep (deformation) or cold flow, due to its tighter microscopic structure and is especially useful when used as a seal or in high-pressure applications.

Additionally, PTFE rubber joint performs very well in applications where cold temperatures would otherwise compromise reliability, such as cryogenics. It has also proven particularly effective in cold aseptic filling operations, which are used in the production of sports drinks, fruit drinks and a variety of other liquids.
