Custom Machined Teflon™ PTFE Parts - Our Specialty
APT is proud of its excellent Customer Service and
Design & Engineering Support. Call us today! (800) 752-7082
We'll help you with the parts you need • Made right & delivered on time.
Today's designers & engineers are confronted with a bewildering choice of grades of plastics and methods of processing. With such variety, every choice involves a compromise.
At APT, we understand the effects processing has on the typical properties of high performance fluoropolymers and engineering plastics. Our experience and technical knowledge allows us to assist you with choosing a material that meets your requirements & operating environment.
APT's engineers can provide material specific technical information including:
- Tensile Strength & Elongation
- Specific Gravity
- Thermal Expansion
- Wear and Friction
Design & Technical Support:
We can support your design process to help take your concept to a production ready design using 2D & 3D CAD tools. APT engineers work with both AutoCAD® and SolidWorks® native formats, and we can import many file types including DXF, IGS, STEP & others.
For the fastest response to your RFQs, please use our "Request A Quote" form or email us your fully dimensioned 2D drawings as PDF (preferred) or DWG files. The more we know about your part and its end use will help us provide an accurate quote. Be sure to let us know the quantity - whether just one or two or a large production quantity.
We can assist you with special filled, reinforced polymers including Teflon PTFE compounds, Modified PTFE compounds, PCTFE and other engineering plastics.
Mechanical properties testing, which can be ordered if desired, is performed for APT by an independent outside lab. APT molds and machines test samples or test stock using the same material processing as we would use for the production parts. This approach provides a good correlation of properties between the tested samples and the finished parts.
Example Custom Assembly: Substrate Dipper, Virgin Grade PTFE
Below is an example of an assembly that started as a university researcher's concept. APT is happy to work with you to discuss a rough design or concept. We often suggest modifications or alternate approaches to best suit the manufacturing processes.
All of the components of the above assembly were machined from Virgin Grade PTFE.
