• Desalination Units in Coastal Towns: Ideal for Labuan, Miri, Lahad Datu, and Kudat desalination facilities.
• Sewage and Effluent Treatment Plants: Withstands acidic and basic cleaning chemicals.
• Pipework for Potable Water Systems: Ensures non-toxic, safe sealing for drinking water.

Why PTFE:
Non-leaching, corrosion-resistant, and unaffected by chlorine and salt — critical for Sabah’s coastal waterworks and Brunei’s utility systems.

 

5. Oil, Gas & Marine Industries

PTFE Full Face Gaskets are crucial in offshore and onshore operations, offering chemical, heat, and weather resistance.

Applications include:

• Flange Connections on Offshore Platforms: For fuel, hydraulic, and chemical lines.
• Refinery Heat Exchangers: Tolerates high temperatures and corrosive condensates.
• FPSO and Shipboard Systems: For chemical transfer, bilge, and seawater lines.
• Pipeline Pigging Stations: Reliable under pressure and dynamic load.
• Marine Engine Cooling and Exhaust Systems: Non-stick and corrosion-proof.

Why PTFE:
Stable under salt spray, oil vapor, and tropical humidity — perfect for marine environments in Labuan, Brunei, and Bintulu.

 

6. Power Generation & Industrial Utilities

Used in steam and condensate systems, cooling towers, and chemical dosing setups in power stations and factories.

Applications include:

• Steam Turbine Flanges & Boiler Outlets: High-temperature sealing up to 260°C.
• Cooling Water Lines: Corrosion-resistant under long-term flow.
• Chemical Dosing Pumps & Neutralization Tanks: Handles acids, caustics, and scale inhibitors.
• Gas Scrubbers and Stack Systems: Prevents leaks of corrosive gases.
• Power Stations in Samalaju, Mukah & Miri: Used in process water and lubrication systems.

Why PTFE:
Offers long service life under cyclic temperature and pressure — essential for continuous operation facilities.

 

7. Electronics, Semiconductor & Laboratory

PTFE’s non-contaminating and dielectric properties make it perfect for cleanroom and semiconductor applications.

Applications include:

• Ultra-Pure Water (UPW) Systems: Prevents contamination in chip fabrication.
• Chemical Etching Lines: Handles strong acids used in wafer processing.
• Cleanroom Gas and Air Lines: For nitrogen, argon, and process gases.
