Teflon™ PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) is a synthetic fluoropolymer derived from tetrafluoroethylene. This high-performance material is valued for its exceptional non-stick capabilities, resistance to chemicals, and ability to withstand extreme temperatures. PTFE is inert to a wide array of chemicals, highly corrosion-resistant, and operates effectively within a temperature range spanning from -200°C to +260°C (-328°F to +500°F).
Teflon™ PTFE is often used as a gasket material or in packaging for chemical processing equipment. The mechanical properties combined with its extreme slipperiness make it ideal for non-stick coatings for cookware, bearings, seals, and piston rings in mechanical applications. Additionally, Teflon™ PTFE is weather resistant, flexible, and non-flammable.
