PTFE

Style 7531 - Reprocessed PTFE (less expensive than Virgin PTFE)

Reprocessed PTFE is a white flexible material which has a very low coefficient of friction, excellent high and low temperature capability is resistant to virtually all acids and caustics. It is flexible and extremely soft, and therefore conforms to irregular flanges effectively. Reprocessed PTFE is less expensive than Virgin PTFE, has a lower tensile of 2000 PSI, and has reduced resistance to cold flow.
