General description
Poly(tetrafluoroethylene) is a fluoropolymer that is commercially known as PTFE. Its properties include high thermal stability, excellent chemical resistance, low dielectric constant and low surface energy. It is a hydrophobic polymer that is majorly used as a protective coating on the metal surface.
Application
Inert lubricant.
Suitability
Low coefficient of friction, low critical surface energy and excellent antistick properties.
