PTFE (Teflon) Rods, Sheet, Rolls

Description

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer with many industrial uses, and Teflon is a brand name for PTFE:

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), also known as Teflon, has many properties, including:

• Low friction: PTFE has a low coefficient of friction, which is why it has non-stick properties. The fluorine molecules on the surface of PTFE prevent other materials from sticking to it.
• Chemical resistance: PTFE is highly resistant to acids, bases, and most organic solvents. This makes it ideal for use in harsh chemical environments, such as in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
• Heat resistance: PTFE is effective over a wide range of temperatures. It decomposes only at a temperature of +400 degrees Celsius.
• Inert: PTFE is extremely non-reactive due to its fluorine atoms.
• Non-flammable: PTFE is non-flammable.
• Weather resistant: PTFE is resistant to weather and UV light.
• FDA approved: PTFE is FDA approved and food safe.
• Low water absorption: PTFE has low water absorption
• Uses
