PTFE Plug Valve Supplier

The PTFE Plug valve utilizes PTFE as the sealing material, offering features such as corrosion resistance, self-lubrication properties, and excellent sealing performance. It is usually used in chemical engineering, pharmaceuticals, and laboratories, where high cleanliness and corrosion resistance are required.

I. Main Features

1. Corrosion Resistance: The best thing about this material is its corrosion resistance. Simply, it is not affected by most chemical substances, such as strong acids, bases, and some organic liquids. All these things cannot break it. Therefore, PTFE is able to work stably in various harsh chemical environments.

2. Self-Lubrication: You can imagine that this PTFE material itself has the function of a lubricant. The friction coefficient of the surface is pretty low. It can lubricate itself, so there is no need to add other lubricants. This can help save manpower and also ensure the flowing medium is clean and not contaminated.

3. Good Sealing Performance: Whether in high or low temperature environments, it can always keep its excellent sealing performance. Therefore, you can use a PTFE plug valve in a vacuum environment and a situation where internal pressure exists; it can handle it pretty well and effectively prevent leakage

4. Replaceable Liners: This means that if the sleeve wears out after long-term use, you don't need to replace the entire plug valve. You just need to replace the new sleeve like changing a pen refill. This design is convenient for later maintenance and also extends the overall service life of the product.

5. Complies with Multiple Standards: For example, the GB/T standards in China, as well as the API, FDA, and other standards internationally. Thanks to having passed these rigorous certifications, it can even be used in industries with extremely high requirements for hygiene and safety, such as food, medicine, and environmental protection. It is very reassuring to use.

II. Common Structural Types

1. PTFE Sleeve Type Plug Valve

Inside this PTFE Plug Valve, a "cylinder" made of PTFE material is installed. This cylinder is the core sealing component of the valve. Due to the large sealing area, even if there is a slight local wear, it is not likely to cause immediate leakage, and the reliability is very high. It is particularly suitable for handling various corrosive chemicals. However, its internal structure is relatively more complex. Also, because the sealing surface is large, more force is required when opening and closing the valve compared to ordinary valves.

2. Fully PTFE Plug Valve

As the name suggests, all the parts of this valve that come into contact with the flowing medium are completely made of PTFE plastic. The entire interior and exterior are made of this high-grade material, so its cleanliness is extremely high, and it will not contaminate the medium. It is mainly used in those occasions that require extremely high purity, such as analytical instruments in laboratories, semiconductor chip production lines, or biopharmaceutical workshops etc.

3. PTFE-lined Plug Valve (e.g., X43F type)

This PTFE Sleeve Plug Valve is usually made of metal, which is very hard and ensures the strength of the entire structure. Also, there is a PTFE that fits closely as an isolation and seal course. Therefore, it is suitable for plenty of industrial pipelines. It features anti-corrosion and bears a certain pipeline pressure. What’s more, this type of valve provides a variety of diameter choices to meet different installation requirements of pipelines.

III. Usage and Installation Precautions

Whether it is a strong acid or base, various organic liquids, or ultra-pure water with extremely high purity is required, the PTFE sleeve plug valve can transport the medium safely; that is to say, it can handle almost all the media in industrial production.

It works well between -30℃ and 210℃. This range covers from a low-temperature refrigeration environment to high-temperature heating conditions. However, specific temperature tolerance limits vary slightly due to the formulation grade of the PTFE material and the specific design structure of the plug valve.

IV. Applications

1. Transportation Of Various Corrosive Liquids

For a regular plug valve, the medium like strong acids or bases can easily corrode the valve. However, the ZZJG PTFE liner plug valve adopts the PTFE sleeve as its key parts. This makes the valve strong to the corrosive medium and has excellent sealing performance, ensuring zero leakage and safe production of the pipeline.

2. In Precise Laboratory Environments

In chemical laboratories and research institutions, various chemical reagents and titration solutions need to be handled frequently. Here, high standards of valve cleanliness and control accuracy are required. The PTFE ball valve not only ensures that the flowing medium remains absolutely pure and is not contaminated, but also has a precise switching operation, meeting the demanding requirements of the experimental process.

3. Food and Pharmaceutical Industry

This industry has the highest requirements for hygiene and safety. Whether it is the pure water used for production or various drug solutions, there can be no slightest contamination. PTFE material itself is non-toxic and odorless, fully meeting the strict food and pharmaceutical hygiene standards. Using it to transport materials can completely eliminate the worry that the valves will contaminate the products, ensuring the safety of the final products.

4. High-Purity Electronic Industries Such As Semiconductors

In the manufacturing of semiconductor chips, extremely high-purity chemical solutions are often required. Even the presence of extremely minute amounts of metal ion impurities can lead to the scrapping of the entire batch of products. The full PTFE structure ball valve here fully demonstrates its advantages, as its entire flow path is made of plastic, fundamentally eliminating the leaching and precipitation of metal ions, and perfectly ensuring the "extremely high purity" of the chemicals.
