What are the properties and uses of polytetrafluoroethylene

Polytetrafluoroethylene is a polymer of tetrafluoroethylene, abbreviated as PTFE, which was discovered in the late 1930s and put into industrial production in the 1940s. It is widely used in chemical, mechanical, electronic, medical, textile and other sectors.

Performance and use of polytetrafluoroethylene:
1. Used in the electrical industry, in aerospace, aviation, electronics, instrumentation, computers and other industries as an insulating layer of power and signal lines, corrosion-resistant, abrasion-resistant materials can be made of film, tubes, plates, rods, bearings, gaskets, valves, and chemical piping, pipe fittings, equipment, container lining, and so on.
2. Used in electrical appliances, chemical industry, aviation, machinery and other fields instead of quartz glassware used in atomic energy, medicine, semiconductors and other industries of ultra-pure chemical analysis and storage of various acids, alkalis, organic solvents can be made into highly insulating electrical parts, high-frequency resistant wire and cable wrapping, corrosion-resistant chemical utensils, resistant to high-cold oil pipelines, artificial organs, etc. Can be used as plastics, rubber, paints, ink, lubricating oils, grease and other additives. It can be used as additive for plastics, rubber, paint, ink, lubricant, grease, etc.
3. This product is high temperature resistant, corrosion resistant, has excellent electrical insulation, aging resistance, small water absorption, excellent self-lubricating properties, is a general-purpose lubricating powder for a variety of media, can be quickly coated to form a dry film, to be used as graphite, molybdenum and other inorganic lubricants as a substitute. Suitable as a release agent for thermoplastic and thermoset polymers with excellent load bearing capacity. Widely used in the elastomer and rubber industry as well as in anti-corrosion.
4. Used as filler of epoxy resin to improve the abrasion resistance, heat resistance and corrosion resistance of epoxy adhesive.
5. Mainly used as binder and filler for powder cake.
