As a specialist turned parts manufacturer, we can help you fulfil those specialist applications that other providers cannot cater for. These include:
- Seal design and profile selection
- Assemblies of multiple components and testing
- Composite components
- Welded fabrications
- Large diameter machine parts
Due to our investment in the latest technology, AFT Fluorotec typically produces highly complex parts in one operation, which reduces the cost to you.
From 1-off to 1,000,000 pieces, we have no ideal or restricted batch size as everything is machined to order.
-
PTFE
Being hydrophobic, non-wetting, high density and resistant to high temperatures, PTFE is an incredibly versatile material with a wide variety of applications, though it's perhaps best-known for its non-stick properties.
-
VICTREX PEEK
It is a linear, aromatic, semi-crystalline polymer widely regarded as one of the highest performing thermoplastics in the world. It provides a unique combination and range of high performance properties.
More technical applications include
- Large diameter machine parts up to 1800mm
- Composite components in PTFE and ceramic materials for use in semiconductor industry
- Chemical transfer hoses and assemblies for aggressive chemical transfer
- Large diameter machined rings in PEEK and fluoropolymers (1000mm+)
- Filled PEEK materials for bearing and wear applications
- Polyurethane sealing systems for replacement of rubber components

Exploring the Advantages of Low Temperature PAEK Valves
In response to the global PCTFE resin shortfall, we, at AFT Fluorotec, have recommended PAEK AF825 as a superior alternative for low-temperature PAEK valves. This remarkable material offers enhanced strength, thermal conductivity, dimensional stability, and reduced friction coefficient compared to PCTFE. With its exceptional chemical resistance and durability inherited from PEEK, PAEK AF825 proves to be a game-changer for cryogenic applications. As the shortage persists, our innovative solution ensures reliable and high-performance valve materials.
Fluorotec Reassures Customers: PTFE Use Unlikely to Be Restricted by PFAS
In this article, we provide information about our use of PTFE and its derivatives at Fluorotec in light of growing concerns surrounding Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). We want to reassure our customers that our use of PTFE is unlikely to be restricted by PFAS regulations.
Using PEEK when Storing Cryogenic Hydrogen
Relating the needs of the hydrogen supply chain to steps within the infrastructure suggests potential value that PEEK may bring to specific applications.
