Expect good resistance to oxidizing media, nearly all industrial chemicals, and strong acids and bases. Lubricated PTFE Filament is widely chosen for near-universal chemical inertness and excellent dielectric properties. Exposure to molten alkali metals or elemental fluorine at temperature will shorten service life.

The compound meets FDA requirements for food contact. Maintenance and OEM teams specify it across aggressive-media pipelines, chemical processing, and food and beverage.

Order part number 11700437-05, sold individually. Unit weight is approximately 5 lb. As always, verify media compatibility and operating conditions against the requirements of your specific application.
