Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and expanded PTFE (ePTFE) are ideal for various applications. Because PTFE does not flow, even when heated above its melting point, PTFE components are fabricated using a process called paste extrusion. This process entails blending PTFE powder particles with a lubricant to form PTFE paste, which is subsequently preformed, extruded, expanded (in the case of ePTFE), and sintered.
