Industry Tradenames: PTFE, TFE, Chemflour, Surf Chemical, Teflon

Material Description
Teflon: Chemical inertness (very few chemicals can attack it), extremely low coefficient of friction (nothing can stick to the material with any strength), high heat resistance (capable of service temperatures of 500° F) and extremely useful in cold temperature environments. The fluoroplastics industry began in 1938. DuPont Company discovered the fluorocarbon poly-tetra-fluoro-ethylene (PTFE). DuPont called it Teflon. Over the past 60 years, the industry has commercialized seven additional fluoroplastics: FEP, PVDF, PFA, ETFE, PCTFE, ECTFE and PVF.
