Teflon (PTFe)
(POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE RESIN)
Teflon can be used in a a variety of applications having a combination of mechanical, electrical, chemical, temperature and
anti-friction properties that are unmatched. PTFE has a very high melting point and is capable of continued service at 500F
(260 C). It is the most chemically resistant plastic available and only a few chemicals react with it. PTFE mechanical properties
are low compared to other engineering plastics, but its integrity is maintained over a wide temperature range - from -400 to
500°F (-240 to 260°C). Mechanical properties can be improved by the addition of fillers such as glass fiber, carbon, graphite,
molybdenum disulfide and bronze. PTFE has excellent thermal and electrical insulation properties along with a low coeffi-
cient of friction. It is difficult to bond to PTFE.
