1. What Is Teflon® ?
Teflon® has been a familiar name for decades. Invented at DuPont's Jackson Laboratory in 1938, Teflon® is actually a substance called polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
2. What Is PTFE ?
PTFE is a fluorocarbon solid, as it is a high molecular weight compound consisting wholly of carbon and fluorine. Neither water and water-containing substances nor oil and oil-containing substances are wet by PTFE, as fluorocarbons demonstrate mitigated London dispersion forces due to the high electronegativity of fluorine. PTFE has one of the lowest coefficients of friction against any solid.
3. PTFE Applications
PTFE has a wide range of practicable temperature from -180°C - +260°C and a wax-like surface to which anything hardly
rod,sheet,tubing. PTFE has the lowest coefficient of friction of all known solid materials. It has the best electrical properties of all plastics.
