Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), better known as Teflon®, is a semi-crystalline fluoropolymer characterized by distinctive properties. This polymeric material demonstrates remarkable thermal stability, chemical and corrosion resistance, and a high melting point, situated between -200 and 260 °C, with brief periods of tolerance up to 300 °C.
Furthermore, products made with PTFE exhibit excellent sliding capabilities, high electrical resistance, and a non-stick surface. However, compared to other plastics, PTFE shows limited mechanical strength and high specific density. Thanks to these peculiarities, PTFE is widely used in the production of rollers, gaskets, and seal rings. To enhance the mechanical characteristics, the polymer can be reinforced by adding materials such as glass fibers, carbon, bronze, or polyimide.
