Material Properties

PTFE (commonly known by the brand name Teflon®) is a fluoropolymer with exceptional properties. It is chemically inert to virtually all substances and has the lowest coefficient of friction of any known solid material.

Its unique non-stick properties, combined with excellent electrical insulation and broad temperature resistance, make PTFE indispensable in sealing, electrical, and chemical processing applications.
