Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene, and has numerous applications because it is chemically inert. [3] The commonly known brand name of PTFE-based composition is Teflon by Chemours, [4] a spin-off from DuPont, which originally invented the compound in 1938. [4]
Fluorinated ethylene propylene was invented by DuPont and is sold under the brandname Teflon FEP. Other brandnames are Neoflon FEP from Daikin or Dyneon FEP from Dyneon/3M. FEP is very similar in composition to the fluoropolymers PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) and PFA (perfluoroalkoxy polymer resin). FEP and PFA both share PTFE's useful ...
A carton box with Parafilm. Parafilm is a semi-transparent, flexible film composed of a blend of waxes and polyolefins.It is a ductile, malleable, non-toxic, edible, tasteless, odorless, and self-sealing thermoplastic.
ETFE is commonly used in the nuclear industry for tie or cable wraps and in the aviation and aerospace industries for wire coatings. This is because ETFE has better mechanical toughness than PTFE . In addition, ETFE exhibits a high-energy radiation resistance and can withstand moderately high temperatures for a long period.
A convenient, safe method for generating TFE is the pyrolysis of the sodium salt of pentafluoropropionic acid: [6]. C 2 F 5 CO 2 Na → C 2 F 4 + CO 2 + NaF. The depolymerization reaction – vacuum pyrolysis of PTFE at 650–700 °C (1,200–1,290 °F) in a quartz vessel – is a traditional laboratory synthesis of TFE.
MIL-T-27730A (an obsolete military specification still commonly used in industry in the US) requires a minimum thickness of 3.5 mils and a minimum PTFE purity of 99%. [3] The second standard, A-A-58092, [ 4 ] is a commercial grade which maintains the thickness requirement of MIL-T-27730A and adds a minimum density of 1.2 g/cm 3 . [ 4 ]
A reagent bottle is a type of laboratory glassware. The term " reagent " refers to a substance that is part of a chemical reaction (or an ingredient of which), and "media" is the plural form of " medium " which refers to the liquid or gas which a reaction happens within, or is a processing chemical tool such as (for example) a flux .
A Schlenk flask, or Schlenk tube, is a reaction vessel typically used in air-sensitive chemistry, invented by Wilhelm Schlenk.It has a side arm fitted with a PTFE or ground glass stopcock, which allows the vessel to be evacuated or filled with gases (usually inert gases like nitrogen or argon).
