  2. Polytetrafluoroethylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polytetrafluoroethylene

    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]

  3. Surface treatment of PTFE - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_treatment_of_PTFE

    Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), better known by its trade name Teflon, has many desirable properties which make it an attractive material for numerous industries. It has good chemical resistance, a low dielectric constant, low dielectric loss, and a low coefficient of friction, making it ideal for reactor linings, circuit boards, and kitchen utensils, to name a few applications.

  4. Engineering plastic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_plastic

    The currently most-consumed engineering plastic is acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), used for e.g. car bumpers, dashboard trim and Lego bricks. Engineering plastics have gradually replaced traditional engineering materials such as metal, glass or ceramics in many applications. Besides equalling or surpassing them in strength, weight, and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_synthetic_polymers

    Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Very low coefficient of friction, excellent dielectric properties, high melting, chemically inert: Plain bearings, gears, non-stick pans, etc. due to its low friction. Used as a tubing for highly corrosive chemicals. Ultem: Polyimide: Heat,flame and solvent resistant. Has high dielectric strength

  6. Non-stick surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-stick_surface

    Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer used in various applications including non-stick coatings. Teflon is a brand of PTFE, often used as a generic term for PTFE. The metallic substrate is roughened by abrasive blasting, then sometimes electric-arc sprayed with stainless steel.

    It’s natural to be curious about how well off — or not — our friends, neighbors and peers are. And for better or worse (but probably worse), social media makes it easy to be more involved in ...

  8. Dry lubricant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_lubricant

    Polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) is widely used as an additive in lubricating oils and greases. Due to the low surface energy of PTFE, stable unflocculated dispersions of PTFE in oil or water can be produced. Contrary to the other solid lubricants discussed, PTFE does not have a layered structure.
