Teflon Production Process
At Aigle Plast, our Teflon production process is engineered to deliver premium-quality PTFE thread seal tapes. Combining precision machinery, high-grade materials, and advanced technology, we ensure that every roll of Teflon tape meets international quality standards and performance expectations.
Step 1: Raw Material Preparation in Teflon Production
The Teflon production journey begins with 100% pure PTFE fine powder resin, carefully measured for optimal density, thickness, and performance. This guarantees consistency across all production runs and long-term reliability.
Step 2: Blending with Lubricant
A high-grade lubricant, such as naphtha, is mixed with the PTFE powder to prepare it for extrusion. Our Teflon production system uses specialized PTFE mixers to ensure perfect blending, resulting in uniform and smooth extrusion for superior tape quality.
Step 3: Pre-forming
The PTFE mixture is compressed into billets using a hydraulic pre-forming press. This step enhances material integrity, setting the foundation for consistent extrusion during the next stage of the Teflon production process.
Step 4: Ram Extrusion
Each billet is transferred to a PTFE ram extruder, where it is shaped into a continuous film through a precision die. This thin PTFE strip forms the base of our final Teflon product.
Step 5: Lubricant Removal (Oven Drying)
The extruded PTFE film is dried in a controlled-temperature oven to remove residual lubricant. This careful process preserves the flexibility and chemical integrity of the material, key to a successful Teflon production outcome.
Step 6: Calendering & Stretching for Precision
Using high-precision calender rollers, the PTFE tape is adjusted to the desired thickness and width. Controlled stretching strengthens the film, improving density, tensile strength, and durability—essential in industrial Teflon tape production.
Step 7: Slitting & Winding
The wide PTFE sheet is fed into automated slitting machines, which cut it into standard widths (e.g., 12mm, 19mm) or custom sizes. The finished tapes are wound onto plastic spools, completing the Teflon production cycle and readying them for packaging.

Raw Material Preparation
We start with 100% pure PTFE fine powder resin, which forms the foundation of our high-quality tape. Each batch is carefully measured to ensure the correct density and thickness, guaranteeing consistent performance across all rolls.
Blending with Lubricant
The PTFE powder is mixed with a specialized liquid lubricant using a high-efficiency PTFE mixer. This step ensures a uniform mixture that facilitates smooth extrusion and a flawless surface finish for the tape.
Pre-forming
The blended material is compressed into solid cylindrical billets using a hydraulic pre-forming press. This pre-forming step shapes the material for the extrusion process, making it easier to handle and process.
Ram Extrusion
Billets are fed into a PTFE ram extruder, where they are pushed through a precision die to form a continuous, thin PTFE film. This “tape-like” strip serves as the base material for the final product.
Lubricant Removal (Oven Drying)
The extruded film passes through a controlled-temperature drying oven to remove all lubricant residues. Proper drying maintains the PTFE’s flexibility and ensures optimal sealing properties without premature sintering.
Calendering & Stretching
The tape is refined using precision calender rollers to achieve exact thickness and width. Controlled stretching enhances density, tensile strength, and durability, which are critical for high-performance sealing applications.
Slitting & Winding
The wide PTFE sheet is cut into standard or custom widths using automated slitting machines. Each strip is then wound onto durable spools, ready for labeling, packaging, and distribution.
Shrink Wrapping
The finished PTFE tape rolls are placed into a shrink-wrapping machine, where they are tightly sealed in protective film. This process ensures product cleanliness, prevents damage during transport, and provides a professional presentation, ready for storage, distribution, or retail display.
