Fluorolon Virgin PTFE 1000 is a high molecular weight polymer, one of the most
versatile plastic materials known and useful for a large range of products for applications
excluded to other materials. The characteristics are: high heat resistance, high resistance to
chemical agents and solvents, high dielectric properties, low friction, and non-toxicity.
