Chemically known as Polytetrafluoroethylene, PTFE a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene. It consists of two elements namely carbon and fluorine. The fluoropolymer is derived from tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and has various unique properties that makes it a highly useful material for usage in a wide range of applications for both domestic as well as commercial purposes. Some attractive properties of PTFE that appeal customers are:
- Hydrophobic
- High Melting point
- Chemically Inert
- Low Co-efficient of Friction
- High Flexural Strength
Thinking about the difference between PTFE and Teflon? Developed by DuPont Co. and managed by Chemours, Teflon is just a trademarked brand name of PTFE material.
