One of the typical applications of Efalon^®(PTFE) is guide and valve seats in compressor valves. Especially in non-lubricated compressors, valves are among the pieces that are subject to most wear. In compressor valves Efalon^®(PTFE) is used in order to eliminate metal to metal friction and to reduce wear.

• Efalon^®(PTFE) has the least coefficient of friction among all solids
• Nothing sticks onto the surface of Efalon^® (PTFE).
• Heat and pressure do not alter property.
• Is not affected by weather conditions, is impermeable.
• Is 100% resistant to all chemicals within its operating temperature interval of -260ºC, +270ºC.
• Efalon^®(PTFE) is a very good electrical insulator
