poly(tetrafluoroethylene)

Product Information

Molecular Formula:
(C2F4)n
Molecular Weight:
100.015612
Description
PTFE is generally referred to as "non-stick coating"/"easy-cleaning material"; it is a synthetic polymer material that uses fluorine to replace all hydrogen atoms in polyethylene. This material has the characteristics of acid and alkali resistance, resistance to various organic solvents, and is almost insoluble in all solvents.

Application
PTFE is widely used in various occasions where resistance to acid, alkali and organic solvents is required, and is used to make non-stick pans and dry-type transformers. Teflon has a soft texture, so it is often used for coatings. When it was first developed, its main application area was the inner wall coating of high-temperature launch rockets. PTFE is also the main component of the green tape.
Storage
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
