PCTFE The material of Choice for Cryogenic Valves


In the valve industry, especially for cryogenic service, reliability starts with the right material.

That is where PCTFE (Polychlorotrifluoroethylene) proves its unmatched value.


At Fluorotech, we specialize in manufacturing high-precision PCTFE components from seats and seals to spacers and inserts engineered to perform flawlessly in cryogenic valves used across LNG, industrial gas, and aerospace applications.


Why the industry trusts PCTFE -


* Maintains dimensional stability down to –240°C


* Exceptional low-temperature toughness


* Low gas permeability ensuring tight sealing


* Minimal cold flow, even under long-term load


* Excellent chemical resistance to cryogenic media


These properties make PCTFE one of the most preferred materials for ball, globe, and control valves in demanding low-temperature environments.


As one of India’s leading manufacturers of PCTFE components, Fluorotech is proud to support global valve OEMs with materials and components that deliver consistent performance, batch after batch.


Because in cryogenic valves, precision and material integrity aren’t optional they are essential.
