Significant characteristics of PTFE:
Broad operating temperature range -200°C to +260°C
Optimum electrical insulating properties and great dielectric properties
Superior longevity, weather-resistant
Excellent frictional characteristics, no "stick-slip"
PTFE is self-lubricating component, which means that bearings and dynamic seals can run dry under certain conditions
Chemical resistance
Non-flammable
Extremely low water absorption

Material Characteristics
Virgin PTFE material is highly resistant to heat, as well as attack from most chemicals. The electrical properties are excellent.
Though it's high impact strength, its resistance to wear, durability and creep resistance are low as compared to alternative engineering grade thermoplastics. FDA approved.
