Specification of Teflon PTFE
Teflon can be used in a variety of applications that have a combination of mechanical, electrical, chemical, temperature and anti-friction that is unmatched. PTFE has a very high melting point and is able to continue service at 500F (260 C). This 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 their integrity is maintained over a wide temperature range - from -400 to 500 ° F (-240 to 260 ° C). Mechanical properties can be improved by adding fillers such as glass fiber, carbon, graphite, molybdenum disulfide and bronze. PTFE has excellent thermal and electrical insulation properties along with a low coefficient of friction. It's hard to be bound by PTFE.
