> Description >


PTFE is made of carbon and fluorine as shown in the chemical structure below. Compact interlocking of
Fluorine atoms, stronger and stable C-F bond makes PTFE as heat stable material with melting point close to
327°C.

PTFE has a wide range of applications that make use of its extreme chemical resistance, very low coefficient
of friction, excellent electrical insulation properties and thermal stability up to 250°C. Generally, PTFE is a
tough, flexible, non-resilient material of average tensile strength but with great thermal properties and
excellent resistance to chemicals and passage of electric current. The coefficient of friction is unusually low
and believed to be lower than any other solids. PTFE is an outstanding insulator over wide range of
temperatures and frequency . The volume resistivity is above 10 18ohm meter with power factor very
negligible over a huge range of temperatures. The chemical resistance of PTFE is outstanding . There are no
solvents which could dissolve PTFE at room temperature. The surface of PTFE at room temperature is
affected only by molten alkali and fluorine in some cases.
