The sealing industry is full of trade names, technical phrases, and acronyms, which makes it difficult to know what is what. In this study diary, we will explain what Teflon™ and PTFE are and the difference between them.

　　PTFE-what is it?

　　Graphite Gaskets Manufacturers' PTFE is a synthetic polymer of carbon and fluorine-polytetrafluoroethylene. It is made of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and has many very unique characteristics that make it very practical and practical in a wide range of applications. These include:

　　Water resistant-easy to cook

　　Multiple chemicals-chemicals or solvents are not an obstacle to PTFE

　　The low friction-The friction coefficient of PTFE Gaskets Wholesale is the lowest among all solids, so it will not stick to PTFE

　　Very wide temperature range-a melting point of approximately 25°C. +327°C, making it almost unbreakable under extreme temperatures

　　Flexible and bendable-even at low temperatures, it is easy to use on various surfaces without losing its durability

　　Teflon and PTFE

　　In some applications, you can find Teflon:

　　Wiper blades, hair styling tools, nail polish, non-stick cookware, plumbing, container, fabric and carpet protection, chemical and steel industries

　　This shows that all the extraordinary properties of PTFE make it very useful and widely used in commercial and household applications.

　　Examples of the most demanding PTFE applications:

　　Coating inside the pipes, which carry very hot substances or corrosive chemicals

　　Lubricant

　　Artificial human body part-PTFE is unlikely to be rejected by the human body due to its neutral configuration

　　It is also used to seal gaskets that contain uranium in atomic bombs
