The metals and mining industry features harsh environments, with challenges like controlling dust and emissions. TTG offers expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) solutions for your industry. We offer filtration solutions for the most demanding applications. Our team helps you use this versatile material to its highest potential.
Engineered for Demanding Applications
Mining and metallurgical processing bring several challenges, including:
- Dust and particulate control: These operations often generate fine particles and airborne dust, which require control to protect people, equipment and air quality.
- Corrosive and harsh environments: This industry uses corrosive acids and solvents. Equipment also faces exposure to moisture and extreme temperatures, meaning it needs protection for a longer lifespan and lower replacement costs.
- High temperatures: Various processes, like smelting and roasting, generate extreme temperatures, which means equipment must operate reliably in hot environments.
- Fine particle recovery: Each minute piece of a metal is valuable, so recovering fine particles helps operations control costs.
- Health and safety: Workers need effective solutions to prevent exposure to hazardous dust and fumes from mining and processing.
Our Products and Capabilities for Metals and Mining
TTG specializes in high-quality ePTFE products and solutions with the expertise to meet your industry’s challenges.

We also supply custom ePTFE services. We create tailored membrane properties with differing thicknesses, pore sizes and chemical resistance abilities. Our services enable you to meet your facility’s unique needs. We perform comprehensive manufacturing using the latest and most effective technologies. We own our equipment, which allows us to create reliable results and meet your specifications. Trust us to supply consistent, high-quality products that meet the most rigorous industry demands.
How the Metals and Mining Industry Uses ePTFE
The metals and mining industry uses ePTFE for various applications, including:
- Filters: Mining and metal processing often generate dust and pollutants. This ePTFE membrane filter media removes fine dust and particles generated during crushing, grinding, smelting or other processes. This filtration capability helps protect workers and meet environmental regulations.
- Coatings: Components with ePTFE coatings have a protective barrier that prevents materials from sticking to the surface. Cables and other equipment often use this coating to shield sensitive electronics and components in harsh mining environments.
- Seals and gaskets: This flexible, chemical-resistant material withstands various temperatures, which makes it beneficial in equipment and process piping in the metals and mining industries. The material conforms to irregular surfaces and maintains its seal under extreme pressure.
