A Definitive Guide to Choosing the Right PTFE Solenoid Valve

PTFE is a widely utilized material in high purity fluid handling applications, such as chemical processing and gas analytics. iPolymer solenoid valves feature a wetted PTFE surface that offers chemical resistance and easy cleaning between process runs. At iPolymer, we offer two main categories of PTFE solenoid valves: Miniature and Subminiature. Both are available with multiple body configurations, seat sealing methods, and solenoid coils. We offer our PTFE solenoid valves in 2-way normally closed, 2-way normally open, and 3-way configurations. Compare the key benefits and differences between our miniature and subminiature valves below.

 

Miniature PTFE Solenoid Valves

PTFE Solenoid Valve

Our iPolymer Miniature Solenoid Valves use an all PTFE wetted flow path design that is optimized for ultra-clean, semiconductor, pharmaceutical, biomedical, and chemical processing applications. These valves will work well in extreme conditions, including vacuum applications and unique manifold configurations. We strive to make our valves as versatile as possible, with the option to configure an EPDM, Viton, Aflas, Kalrez O-Ring, or PTFE Hard Seat. Because of our great configurability, iPolymer Miniature PTFE Solenoid Valves can work with a wide array of media. Other key advantages of these valves include:

  • Diaphragm configured to completely isolate solenoid coil from media
  • Proven technology that maximizes the speed, accuracy, and repeatability of coil response time
  • Valve seat design for tight shut-off and positive flushing
  • Ability to handle aggressive media, vacuum applications, and elevated temperatures
  • Available as a 2-way or 3-way valve, with multiple body configurations

 

Subminiature PTFE Solenoid Valves

iPolymer Subminiature Solenoid Valves are also designed to perform under extreme conditions, with exceptional resistance to chemicals, temperature, and corrosion. An all-wetted PTFE surface design ensures these valves can be used in high-purity and sanitary applications, such as chemical and bio-medical production. Our standard Subminiature Solenoid valve is configured with PTFE surfaces for the body, stem, and diaphragm.  Like our Miniature models, our Subminiature Solenoid Valves offer the same O-ring seat seal options, including EPDM, Viton, Aflas, and Kalrez. Some key highlights of these valves include:

 

  • Ability to configure for AC and DC voltages
  • Quick, accurate, and consistent coil technology
  • Non-porous diaphragm for coil isolation
  • Recommended max duty cycle of 62%
  • Ability to handle harsh media and extreme temperatures.

iPolymer strives to provide the most comprehensive selection of high purity fluid handling processing equipment on the market, with a great selection of PTFE solenoid valves. Our knowledgeable staff has years of experience producing both standard and custom solenoid valves for an array of applications.  Interested in learning more?
