The evolutionary Polytetrafluoroethylene i.e. PTFE is commonly known as Teflon from a niche product used only in high-value applications to a mainstream requirement has been very gradual. PTFE usage has crossed a critical mass and is commercially viable in more than 200 industrial applications.
PTFE is a synthetic fluropolymers of tetrafluroethylene that has been used in numerous applications. The best brand name of PTFE based formulas is Teflon. PTFE is fluorocarbon solid; it is neither water nor water- containing substances wet PTFE. PTFE has the lowest coefficient of friction against any solid. PTFE is used as a non-stick coating for and many cookware.
PTFE is manufactured in various types such as Rods, Bushes, CFT Thrust Pads, Bellows, Balls, Washers, Rings, Teflon Valve Seats, Gaskets, O Rings, and Strips etc.
