Teflon
Teflon, also known as Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), is chemically inert even under high temperatures and pressures. It features outstanding non-stick properties due to its extremely low friction coefficient and maintains its chemical and electrical properties between -180°C and 260°C. Additionally, Teflon is non-flammable, making it crucial in electrical and electronic industries.
Properties
- Heat Resistance: Withstands temperatures up to 260°C.
- Non-Stick Properties: Ideal for coating surfaces for cooking and manufacturing.
- Chemical Resistance: Resists corrosion from various chemicals.
- Electrical Insulation: Prevents electrical current flow.
Applications:
- Cookware: Provides non-stick surfaces for easy cleaning.
- Electrical Components: Used for insulating wires and cables.
- Industrial Tools: Employed in manufacturing seals and gaskets.
