2nd Generation PTFE vs. Reinforced TFE
2nd Generation PTFE vs. Reinforced TFE
(OP)
Recently, I was getting information on a manufacturer's ball valve. The cut-sheet on the valve states that the seats and seals of the valve are made from 2nd generation PTFE. Anybody know what 2nd generation PTFE is? I have never seen this designation, and I really didn't get a good explanation from the manufacturer. I think its our most common PTFE which we have come to know, but I am not certain. Any ideas? Also, what is the difference between 2nd generation PTFE and Reinforced TFE....is it processing (i.e., recycled vs. virgin)?

Somebody knows this type or anyway registered TM (probably?).
There is a lot of PTFE availbale in the market and I would understand if it is really special o dedicated for some application.
