About PTFE (Teflon) plastic

PTFE is a semi-crystalline fluoropolymer widely used in many industries because it offers many excellent characteristics. Its chemical name is polytetrafluoroethylene, and DuPont discovered it in 1938. Therefore, PTFE is known as the brand name Teflon^®.

PTFE (or Teflon) is an incredibly versatile material with many applications because it offers many excellent characteristics. For example, it provides extreme chemical resistance and thermal stability, making it suitable for seals and gaskets. PTFE also provides a very low coefficient of friction, excellent electrical resistance, and a non-stick surface. However, PTEF provides mechanical strength, but it can be improved by adding glass fiber, carbon, metal, mineral, etc.

PTFE (or Teflon) is usually formed into sheets and rods by compression and extrusion. It can also be made into some complicated parts/components by injection molding and CNC machining.
