About us

PTFE OVERVIEW

Quadrant Chemplast is a leading manufacturer of custom and semi-finished PTFE products. Strategically located next to
Johannesburg's airport and main railway system, products can be designed, engineered, manufactured and be on their way to you, the customer, within minimal lead-times.

Three decades of experience and commitment to the engineering plastics industry brings Quadrant Chemplast's team of professionals, to give advice and to service your standard engineering plastic requirements.

Using the largest PTFE facility in the Southern Hemisphere, Quadrant Chemplast supplies PTFE customers world wide. We have distributors and agents networked across the globe.

Unaffected by almost all chemicals and solvents, PTFE parts also possess outstanding dielectric properties, lowest coefficient of friction of all materials, non-stick properties and has a wide temperature service range from -260ºC to +260ºC of all plastics.

The addition of various inorganic fillers produces parts which can be used in low friction, high temperature applications with less deformation under load and better wear-resistance than offered by unfilled PTFE resins. We have our own blending facilities and are able to offer diverse grades and percentages to meet your specific application needs.

Quadrant Chemplast processes PTFE in a wide range of forms and sizes to optimise the production and cost of your component parts. We manufacture a full range of semi-finished products (rods, tubes, sheets and billets) as well as finished products (machined components) in both virgin PTFE and filled PTFE. Please see our product list for more detailed product information.

Quadrant Chemplast manufacture and distribute their PTFE products under the trade name of Keylon®. Whereas our manufacturing process focuses on PTFE products, our experience and network in the Plastics Industry has extended our available range of products to Nylon, UHMWPE, Vesconite, Kel-F and other engineering plastics.

Quadrant Chemplast is committed to customer satisfaction and is therefore focused both on quality control and quality assurance of our present products and development of new products for more demanding applications.

Product quality is paramount to Quadrant Chemplast. We ensure constant quality through set processing parameters obtained through PLC controlled presses and micro-processor controlled sintering ovens and with regular quality control checks by a professional QC team.
