PTFE
PTFE is high performance engineering polymer invented by Dr. Roy J. Plunkett at Du Pont’s Jackson Laboratory, New Jersey, US, on the 6th April 1938. As the polymer was found to have exceptional properties with regards to chemical inertness, heat resistance and frictional properties: developmental manufacturing begin in 1943 with joint efforts of Kinetic Engineering Inc., USA
PTFE - Polymer Science
PTFE monomer is generally manufactured by synthesis of Calcium fluoride (Fluorospar), Sulphuric Acid and Chloroform. The polymerization of TFE is carried out in the carefully controlled conditions to form PTFE.
The chemical structure of PTFE is
Due to presence of stable and strong C-F bonds, PTFE molecules possess outstanding chemical inertness, high heat resistance and remarkable electrical insulation characteristics in addition to excellent frictional properties.
