PTFE, Polytetrafluoroethylene is that magic discovery, which seems to possess impressive characteristics like high flexibility in high temperatures, resistance to chemical attack, anti-stick & anti friction ability. It was first used asa cost-effective substitute for weaker & low melting point materials. Owing to its dielectric properties, it was found to deliver high performance initially in the aerospace and computer applications. Over the years, it has found its way into automotive, medical, chemical and electrical applications too.
