Whether you need a standard or filled ePTFE for different fiber characteristics, Technetics Group has the capabilities to meet your needs. These include:
- Range of sizes (as low as 600 denier)
- Range of formats (flat or twisted)
- Fast delivery of custom manufactured solution
- Prototype design and manufacturer
- Product technical support
Unique PTFE Fiber solutions for unique applications
Our customers bring us a wide variety of fiber design challenges. Thanks to our extensive experience in ePTFE processing, we can produce a PTFE based fiber solution of exceptional consistency by every measure. With our proprietary compounding technology, we can produce expanded fibers with highly specific and tightly controlled properties — including exceptional tenacity and high retained strength after exposure to UV radiation.
Coupled with the hydrophobic nature and near total chemical inertness of PTFE, qualities like these can yield important performance benefits — whether the application is industrial, commercial, or outdoor.
No compromises. Technetics Group is commited to following lean manufacturing methodologies in order to make ourselves an integral, reliable, and cost-effective part of your supply chain. You can count on getting the thread and fiber you need, exactly when and where you need it.
How do you want it? To accommodate your needs and speed your production, we can supply expanded PTFE fiber in a variety of custom deniers and packages. We can also provide a variety of formats: flat and twisted.
PTFE Filtration Sewing Thread
PLASTOLON® Filtration PTFE Sewing Thread is produced from monofilament, ePTFE fiber and is available in a single or multiple ply thread. In addition to the performance characteristics common to ePTFE, our Filtration Sewing Thread is preferred due to high tenacity, low shrinkage, and attention to customer value.
PTFE Sewing Thread Characteristics
- Hydrophobic
- Excellent Chemical Resistance
- High Temperature Resistance
PLASTOLON® Filtration PTFE Sewing Thread Characteristics

PTFE Fiber Oral Care Applications
Technetics Group manufactures high quality ePTFE monofilament fiber. Clinical studies have proven PTFE-based oral care products do not fray during use and reduce inter-proximal bleeding at a faster rate than use of other synthetic fiber materials.
Technetics Group PTFE fiber is ideal for oral care applications including oral surgery since it has the same characteristics on each surface and a superior comfort texture. We welcome the opportunity to custom-engineer our fiber characteristics to meet your manufacturing and performance needs.
PTFE Fiber Characteristics for Application
- Hydrophobic
- Low Coefficient of Friction
- Shred Resistant
