TEFLON PTFE
A synthetic fluoropolymer that is known for its resistance to high temperatures, chemicals and corrosion. Used in many industrial and consumer applications due to its non-stick properties, very low friction coefficient and excellent electrical insulation properties.
Tribological properties
Teflon has excellent tribological properties, i.e. low friction and wear resistance. This is due to its unique molecular structure that enables it to resist surface damage and reduce friction, making it an ideal material for use in applications requiring sliding surfaces. The low coefficient of friction also makes it suitable for use in bearings and other moving parts requiring low friction and wear applications.
excellent chemical resistance
Teflon (PTFE) is known for its excellent chemical resistance. The reason for this is its inert nature, which means it has a very low reactivity to most solvents, acids and bases. In addition, its non-stick properties make it highly resistant to adherence and accumulation of materials, making it an excellent choice for applications requiring chemical resistance.
FOOD CONTACT
Teflon is safe to use in contact with food as it is non-toxic and non-allergenic. In addition, it is an inert material, with very low reactivity in contact with most chemicals, so there is no risk of it getting into food.
