Custom Machined PTFE Parts

Custom machined PTFE parts are manufactured according to customer drawings, samples or application requirements.

PTFE provides excellent chemical resistance, a low-friction non-stick surface, low moisture absorption and good electrical-insulation performance. These characteristics make it suitable for laboratory fixtures, chemical-contact components, experimental molds, sample trays and precision-machined industrial parts.

We can manufacture custom PTFE products including:

• PTFE Petri dishes
• PTFE laboratory trays
• Hydrogel tensile-test molds
• Dumbbell specimen molds
• Circular experimental molds
• Square experimental molds
• Sample holders
• Chemical-resistant containers
• Sealing rings and spacers
• Bushings and sleeves
• Custom components according to drawings

Standard circular mold dimensions are available from approximately 10 mm inner diameter × 20 mm outer diameter up to 200 mm inner diameter × 210 mm outer diameter.

Available depths include:

• 1 mm
• 2 mm
• 3 mm
• 4 mm
• 5 mm
• 10 mm
• 15 mm
• Custom depth

Both round and square designs can be produced.

Standard Circular Mold Sizes

Other dimensions can be manufactured according to drawings.

Available Designs

PTFE Petri Dishes

PTFE Petri dishes are suitable for laboratory procedures involving corrosive chemicals, low-surface-energy materials or samples that may adhere to conventional containers.

Custom options include:

• Diameter
• Depth
• Wall thickness
• Flat or recessed base
• Lid
• Surface finish
• Identification marking

PTFE Laboratory Trays

PTFE trays can be used for sample handling, chemical processing, drying, cleaning and laboratory storage.

Available shapes include:

• Round
• Square
• Rectangular
• Custom profile

Hydrogel Tensile-Test Molds

Custom PTFE molds can be used to prepare hydrogel or soft-material specimens for tensile testing.

Available options include:

• Dumbbell specimen cavities
• Rectangular specimen cavities
• Circular sample cavities
• Multiple cavities in one plate
• Custom gauge length
• Custom specimen thickness
• Removable covers or pressing plates

The low-adhesion PTFE surface helps release soft or sticky samples after forming.
