PTFE Chemical Formula

• (CF2CF2)n
• C Carbon

• backbone of universe
• F2 Fluorine

• low surface energy
• chemically inert

4
PTFE Chemical Bonds
Powerful binding forces
1. Carbon to Carbon

• forms backbone

2. Carbon to Fluorine

• forms shield

5
PTFE Fluorine Shield
Carbon backbone surrounded by sheath of large
fluorine atoms

• Low surface energy
• Low coefficient of friction
• Non-sticking
• Powerfully bonded
• Fracture resistance
• High thermal stability
• Large fluorine atoms
• Other atoms cannot penetrate
• Chemically inert

6
PTFE Moisture / Humidity

• Hydrophobic

• Does not combine with water
• Does not dissolve in water
• Resistant to hydrolysis
• Does not decompose, react with water
• Barrier to water permeation
• Stable after year-long water immersion

7
PTFE Light Age Stability

• Transparent to ultraviolet light

• Resistant to
• Oxidation
• Surface fouling
• Discoloration
• Embrittlement
• Proven 20-year Florida test

8
PTFE Long Service Life

• Retains properties after aging
• Withstands exposure to
• High temperature

• 780F / 415C
• Solvents
• Oils
• Oxidizing agents
• Ultraviolet light
• Other environmental agents

9
Combined Ingredient Benefits
