Service Temperature:

  • Excellent resistance to continuous service temperature from -200oC to +260oC .

Chemical Resistance:

  • PTFE Processes a high inertness towards nearly all known chemicals. It is only attacked by elemental alkali metals, chlorine trifluoride and elemental fluorine at high temperatures and pressure.

Solvent Resistance:

  • PTFE is insoluble in all solvents up to temperatures as high as 300oC ( 572oF). Certain highly fluorinated oils only swell and dissolve PTFE at temperatures close to the crystalline melting point.

FDA Approved:

  • ( Code of federal regulation 21 CFR Ch.1 revised as of April 1st 1999 edition), Sections 175.105,-175.300,-176.170,176.180,-177.1250,-177.1550,-177.2600,-178.3570.”Perfluorocarbon Resins” of the Food and Drug Administration.
