Very high melting point: With a melting point of around 327°C, there are very few situations where PTFE would be damaged by heat.Hydrophobic : It’s resistance to water means it never gets wet, making it useful in cooking, wound dressings and more. Chemically inert: The majority of solvents and chemicals will not damage PTFE.Low coefficient of friction: The coefficient of friction of PTFE is one of the lowest of any solid in existence, meaning nothing will stick to it.High flexural strength: It’s ability to bend and flex, even at low temperatures, means it can be easily applied to a variety of surfaces without losing its integrity.

Teflon Vs PTFE... What Really Are The Differences?wo simple elements; carbon and fluorine. It is derived from tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and has some unique properties that make it a useful material in a wide range of applications. For example: <span>Very high melting point: With a melting point of around 327°C, there are very few situations where PTFE would be damaged by heat.

High flexural strength: It’s ability to bend and flex, even at low temperatures, means it can be easily applied to a variety of surfaces without losing its integrity. All these unique properties mean PTFE is a very useful material and is widely used in both domestic and commercial applications. You probably have PTFE in your own home, coating your no Summary
