Introduction to polytetrafluoroethylene
products
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, TEFLON),
also called king of plasticsis, is a kind of the most excellent
plastics
Main properties:
- High- and low-temperature resistance: it can be used safely
in environment with temperatures ranging from -180°C to +260°C
- Resistance to atmospheric aging and radiation: it has excellent
resistance of weathering, resistance to fire, with high oxygen
index, without water absorption. It also has good resistance to
radiation. When exposed in atmosphere, its properties will not
degrade.
- Insulatibity and corrosion resistance: it has excellent dielectric
propertics, with resistance to high voltage. It has corrosion
resistance, and cannot be dissolved in any kind of chemical solvent.
It remain constant in aqua regia, sodium hydroxide, uranium fluoride,
etc.
- Resistance to wear: It has good wear resistance, and has the
smallest coefficient of static friction among plastics, with good
self lubricating property, and excellent surface inadhesion. It¡¯s
tensile strength is very strong.
Nowadays, with the development of science
& technology, and improvement of people¡¯s living condition,
polytetrafluoroethylene products have got more and more applications
in every aspects of our society, ranging from national security
industry to other commercial industry. It can be used in aeronautics
and astronautics, instrument and meter, telecommunication, petrochemical
industry, metallurgy, electric power industry, railway and transportation,
electrical machines, household appliances, tall building, lamps,
etc.
