Product Details
Poly-(Tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE, brand names: Teflon, Fluon, Hostaflon, Polyflon) is a strong, tough, waxy, non‑flammaleic-anhydride.html">mable synthetic resin. Its structural formula is [CF2-CF2]n with a carbon main chain. It is synthesized by free‑radical polymerization of tetrafluoroethylene. PTFE features a low‑friction surface, high melting point, and exceptional chemical inertness. These characteristics support a wide range of applications.
Its largest application is in wiring for aerospace and computer systems thanks to excellent dielectric properties, such as insulation in cables and connectors. In industry, PTFE is used where low‑friction sliding is needed, including plain bearings, gears, and slide plates. It is also used in manufacturing carbon‑fiber composites and fiberglass composites. Furthermore, due to chemical resistance and thermal stability, PTFE serves as liners in industrial pipelines that handle acids, alkalis, and other chemicals.
Tetrafluoroethylene (TFE), also called perfluoroethylene, is a colorless, flammable, toxic gas. It is the monomer for polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), sold under DuPont’s Teflon trademark. TFE is copolymerized with other materials to produce various Teflon grades. TFE is produced by heating chlorodifluoromethane (CHClF2, Freon‑22) or trifluoromethane (CHF3, Freon‑23). TFE is mainly used as a monomer in PTFE production. PTFE is a vinyl polymer formed from monomers with carbon–carbon double bonds via free‑radical polymerization.

Product Application of Poly(tetrafluoroethylene) CAS#9002-84-0
Polytetrafluoroethylene is used in hundreds of applications beyond cookware. It is included in inks, plastics, coatings, and lubricants. PTFE can be molded into gaskets, seals, bearings, gears, and other mechanical components. It is used as liners, insulation, membranes, and adhesives. Teflon tape is widely used in plumbing. PTFE is also used to make waterproof garments.
It is used for hookup wires in electronic devices, computer cables, electrical tape, electrical parts, and spaghetti tubing. It appears in seals, piston rings, basic shapes, bearings, mechanical tapes, and coated glass fabrics. It is supplied as tubing and sheets for chemical laboratories and processing; as linings for reaction vessels; as gaskets and pump packings (sometimes blended with graphite or glass fibers); as electrical insulation especially for high‑frequency uses; in filter fabrics; and in protective clothing. It is also used in prosthetic devices.
