PTFE Expansion Joints

The outstanding property of Flips make PTFE expansion joints is their astounding resistance to aggressive chemicals and solvents. Accordingly, they are used primarily in the chemicals and pharmaceuticals industries, as well as in the foodstuffs and beverages industries. Flips’s non-sensitive PTFE expansion joints have also proven their worth in the pipeline systems operated by waste disposal and treatment companies.

All Flips make PTFE expansion joints have absorbent, compensating and tension - reducing properties. Furthermore, White PTFE bellows are not electrically conductive and thus can be used as insulators. Black PTFE bellows, on the other hand, are the solution of choice in hazardous areas, since the inclusion of carbon black prevents static charge.

What FLIPS make PTFE Expansion Joints Do:

• Compensate motion
• Compensate expansion caused by differences in temperature
• Reduce tension
• Damp oscillation, noise and vibration transmissions
• Compensate imprecise assembly
