FEATURES PTFE is the most chemically resistant plastic known with only a few chemicals that will react with it. It has excellent thermal and electrical insulation properties and a low coefficient of friction. PTFE has almost ideal dielectric properties. Its dielectric constant (2.1) and power-loss factor (0.0002) are low and remain so over a wide range of temperatures and frequencies. In certain applications, such as fuel hoses, some electrical conductivity is required to dissipate static charges. When exposed to flame, PTFE decomposes leaving just a little residue. PTFE is extremely inert and stable up to a temperature of 260 ° C. Take the flame away and PTFE goes out. PTFE is also virtually unaffected by oxygen, ozone and UV light. Since the PTFE is not melt processable, it must be compressed and then sintered to become a useful plastic. PTFE, though a thermoplastic, has a viscosity at its melt temperature so high it cannot be processed by conventional extruding or molding techniques. TEMPERATURE Products of the series PTFE can be used in a temperature range from -60°C to 260°C.
