Usa Industrials BULK-PS-PTFE-17 Virgin Ptfe Sheet 3/8 in

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-PS-PTFE-17 is a virgin-grade polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) plastic sheet used as a raw fabrication stock for sealing, lining, and insulating applications across plumbing, chemical processing, and industrial service environments. Measuring 3/8 inches thick, 12 inches wide, and 12 inches long, this sheet ships as a single piece at a weight of approximately 4.5 pounds. Virgin PTFE material grade means no recycled resin content, which supports consistent dielectric properties, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability. Thickness tolerance is held to plus 0.038 inches and minus 0.019 inches.

This PTFE sheet stock is suited for cutting custom gaskets, valve seats, bearing pads, and chemical-resistant liners in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial installations. Plumbers and pipefitters commonly machine or die-cut PTFE sheet into flat-face gaskets for flanged connections. Its non-reactive surface makes it appropriate for use with aggressive fluids and high-purity systems where contamination from recycled material cannot be tolerated.

Key Features

• Virgin PTFE material grade - no recycled resin, consistent chemical and dielectric properties
• 3/8 inch thickness with tight tolerance of plus 0.038 inches / minus 0.019 inches
• White color for visual identification in fabrication and inspection
• 12 inch by 12 inch sheet size ready for custom cutting, machining, or die-cutting
• Broad chemical resistance suitable for aggressive fluid service and high-purity applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose virgin PTFE sheet stock for fabricating seals, gaskets, liners, and insulators in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial applications where PTFE material is specified.

Installation Notes

Fabrication of PTFE sheet stock into gaskets or seals is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or mechanical contractors using standard cutting, milling, or die-cutting tools. Always depressurize and isolate the system before replacing any seal or gasket made from this material. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the specific piping system being serviced. PTFE is a soft material and should not be overtorqued in flanged assemblies, as excessive compression can cause extrusion beyond the flange face.
