    Marisa Yuni Nur Aziza
    Teflon (PTFE) is a resin with unmatched mechanical, electrical, chemical, and temperature resistant properties. It has a very high melting point of 635°F and can be used in applications from -400°F to 500°F. PTFE is the most chemically resistant plastic and only reacts with a few chemicals. It has excellent thermal and electrical insulation properties along with a low coefficient of friction, making it suitable for applications like gaskets, seals, bearings, and electrical insulation. PTFE mechanical properties can be improved by adding fillers like glass or carbon fibers.

    Technical Data Sheet

    Teflon (PTFE)
    (POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE RESIN)
    Teflon can be used in a a variety of applications having a combination of mechanical, electrical, chemical, temperature and
    anti-friction properties that are unmatched. PTFE has a very high melting point and is capable of continued service at 500F
    (260 C). It is the most chemically resistant plastic available and only a few chemicals react with it. PTFE mechanical properties
    are low compared to other engineering plastics, but its integrity is maintained over a wide temperature range - from -400 to
    500°F (-240 to 260°C). Mechanical properties can be improved by the addition of fillers such as glass fiber, carbon, graphite,
    molybdenum disulfide and bronze. PTFE has excellent thermal and electrical insulation properties along with a low coeffi-
    cient of friction. It is difficult to bond to PTFE.
