Key Properties
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), commonly known by the brand name Teflon, is a high-performance fluoropolymer renowned for its outstanding chemical resistance and non-stick properties. It is a white, waxy solid that is stable at high temperatures and exhibits excellent electrical insulation characteristics. PTFE is widely used in various industries due to its unique properties, including low friction, high thermal stability, and resistance to corrosion. Its molecular structure consists of repeating units of tetrafluoroethylene, making it a versatile material for applications requiring durability and chemical inertness.
Also known as Teflon.

PTFE appears as a white solid with a waxy texture. It has a melting point of approximately 327 °C (621 °F) and a boiling point that exceeds 400 °C (752 °F). The density of PTFE is about 2.2 g/cm³, and it is insoluble in water and most organic solvents. PTFE has a very low coefficient of friction, making it an ideal material for applications requiring reduced friction. It is also non-flammable and has a high thermal stability, allowing it to maintain its properties over a wide temperature range.
