Stronger Than Metal. Lighter Than You Imagine
Plastic and fluoropolymer components play a critical role in modern aerospace engineering. Over time, these materials have evolved to replace traditional metal parts, providing significant advantages such as reduced weight and improved fuel efficiency.
PTFE Felis components offer comparable strength and stiffness to metal, while achieving up to 70% weight reduction, making them ideal for high-performance aerospace applications.
Today, advanced plastics and fluoropolymers are widely used throughout aircraft interiors. Applications include air ducts, cabin partitions, floor panels, and overhead storage compartments all benefiting from precision machining and the superior properties of PTFE materials.
Optimal Material Choices for Performance
With hundreds of fluoropolymer grades available, selecting the ideal material for your application can be challenging.
At PTFE Felis, our specialists work closely with clients to understand the specific operating environment of your components. This allows us to recommend the most suitable material with the right performance characteristics. If one of our standard grades doesn’t meet your exact needs, we can develop a custom fluoropolymer tailored to your requirements.
Once the material is selected, we can produce prototypes for in-house testing or provide them for your team to evaluate, ensuring the solution performs perfectly in your application.
Precision Engineering Expertise
Fluoropolymers are increasingly used in the aerospace industry due to their exceptional strength, durability, and performance under demanding conditions. In addition to their technical advantages, they offer cost savings in production and fuel efficiency, helping to reduce emissions. At PTFE Felis, we see quality as a core part of our material offering, and our commitment to getting it right the first time is what sets us apart from the competition.
When your project requires expert guidance on material selection for a specific component or coating, our team is here to help. We pride ourselves on delivering solutions where others may have struggled. Every client has unique requirements, but they come to PTFE Felis for the same reason — our technical expertise enables the development of robust, reliable solutions that optimize internal processes, saving both time and money.
Precision Engineering with Industry Approval
A key consideration in producing machined components for defence electronics is compliance with export regulations. Many suppliers are unable to provide the necessary parts due to the lack of required government approvals and licensing from both their home country and the destination country.
PTFE Felis is fully certified and compliant with international standards, ensuring safe and authorized production of PTFE, fluoropolymer, and engineering plastic components for the aerospace, space, and defence sectors. Our certifications reflect our commitment to quality, safety, and regulatory compliance, allowing us to deliver reliable components where others may face restrictions.
