2. Thread seal tape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_seal_tape

   Thread seal tape (also known as PTFE tape, Teflon tape, or plumber's tape) is a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film tape commonly used in plumbing for sealing pipe threads. The tape is sold cut to specific widths and wound on a spool, making it easy to wind around pipe threads. Thread seal tape lubricates, allowing for a deeper seating of the ...

   This resulted in the transformation of the solid PTFE into a microporous structure that was about 70% air. The company initially referred to this new material as "fibrillated PTFE". One year later, it was given the name of "Gore-Tex expanded PTFE". [5] Today, expanded PTFE (ePTFE) accounts for the vast majority of the company's products.

   The sealing elements are typically made from a material (expanded graphite, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), vermiculite, etc.) suitable to the process fluid and application. Constant seating stress gaskets derive their name from the fact that the carrier ring profile takes flange rotation (deflection under bolt preload) into consideration.

6. Gore-Tex - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gore-Tex

   Gore-Tex materials are typically based on thermo-mechanically expanded PTFE and other fluoropolymer products. They are used in a wide variety of applications such as high-performance fabrics, medical implants, filter media, insulation for wires and cables, gaskets, and sealants.

7. 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 discovered the compound in 1938. [4]
