PTFE – from Berghof to Berghof
Berghof has been developing customized solutions and products of top quality polytetrafluoroethylene since 1966. By using homogeneous high-density materials for our laboratory equipment, we benefit from Berghof’s own experience which combines outstanding material properties, top quality and diligence in manufacturing.
Fluoropolymers are varied and versatile in its application. We use high-performance plastic material PTFE in our laboratory equipment because of its outstanding technical properties. The plastic possesses outstanding chemical resistance and allows working temperatures up to 260 °C. The extremely anti-adhesive, smooth surface paired with the hydrophobic behavior ensures low cross contamination and ease of cleaning. Especially our microwave digestion vessels made of Berghof’s own TFM™ PTFE are characterized by long lifespans of usually more than 3 years under standard applications. Through the close cooperation with the Berghof fluoroplastics business segment we benefits in the development of our products of their expertise. It encompasses in-depth material and manufacturing knowledge and is supplemented with outstanding capability in isostatic molding. By using its own manufacturing, Berghof can guarantee that the purity and quality of the material will be very high.
