TFM GBK Lining Sheet

In addition to conventional PTFE its substantially improved
property profile includes:

Better weldability.
Denser polymer structure with reduced permeability.
Substantially lower deformation under load.
High degree of purity. Therefore, TFM is very suitable for semi-conductor
industry.
Smooth and pore-free surface that prevent contaminates being
trapped and thus make cleaning TFM sheet surface
considerably easier.
Substantially fewer cleaning cycles of TFM due to
optimized surface properties compare to
conventional PTFE.
