TEFLON PLASTIC MACHINING
CORROSION RESISTANT MATERIAL WITH EXCEPTIONAL THERMAL PROPERTIES
Most know PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) by its more common name, Teflon. As a high performance fluoropolymer, this has earned a place as another kind of "powerhouse plastic" due to its several exceptional qualities. Made of the synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene, its unique structure consists of fluorine atoms surrounding long chains of carbon atoms that connect to create this incredible material.
Teflon is a corrosion and chemical-resistant material with exceptional thermal properties. It is non-flammable and boasts very high dielectric strength. It's a very popular plastic for electrical applications and chemical and steel processing. Renowned for its intensely slick and slippery properties, designers often choose Teflon when products need reduced friction and high resistance against wear.
