What is PTFE Fluoropolymer?

PTFE Fluoropolymer, or Polytetrafluoroethylene, known for its strength and durability, was discovered in 1938 by Roy Plunkett, a chemist at Kinetic Chemicals. This substance has been widely used in the manufacture of bullet proof vests, munitions, wire and equipment coating at NASA, non-stick cookery, and many other applications.

Benefits of PTFE Fluoropolymer:

• NON-STICK / SELF CLEANING
• LOW FRICTION / SELF-LUBRICATING
• CHEMICAL INERTNESS
• INSENSITIVE TO UV
• NON-TOXIC
• DIELECTRIC PROPERTIES
• WEATHER RESISTANCE / NON-AGEING
• BROAD TEMPERATURE RANGE (- 200 °C / up to + 260 °C)
• NON-FLAMMABLE
