Lowest friction of any solid, −200 °C to +260 °C, universal chemical resistance.
PTFE sheet, rod and tube are supplied in virgin and filled grades. Glass-filled PTFE improves wear and creep; graphite-filled PTFE adds thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity. Used for gaskets, seals, linings and electrical insulators.
