Service Temperature
Excellent resistance to continuous service temperatures up to 260 C and, for limited periods, even to higher
temperatures; the low temperature resistance of the product allows satisfactory performance at as low 200 C.
Chemical resistance
PTFE possesses a high inertness towards nearly all known chemicals. It is only attacked by elemental alkali metals,
chlorine trifluoride and elemental fluorine at high temperature and pressures.
Solvents resistance:
PTFE is insoluble in all solvents up to temperatures as high as 300 C (572 F). Certain highly fluori nated oils only
swell and dissolve PTFE at temperatures close to the crystalline melting point.
