The topic of the day: “Polytetrafluoroethylene”

Which was, in fact, a chemical accident done by Roy Plunkett, who was primarily trying to create a new refrigerant!

Yes! You are reading it quite right. The Teflon layer that we find all over the non-stick utensils was indeed a chemical accident where the composition of the involved chemicals got a bit disturbed, and Teflon was seen as a result of that experiment. Elsewise, we would merely be adjusting our lives with sticky pans and a Brand New Refrigerant. The four alphabets P, F, T & E, are something which is found everywhere nowadays, from your kitchen to Kardashian sponsored dramatic implants. From hospitals and medical equipment to insane firefighting, Polytetrafluoroethylene is found everywhere. Let alone, there is a reason we find the high demand and custom drool for PTFE suppliers.


PTFE is known to have a wide range of uses. Just like the inclusion of alphabets in its chemical formula, it’s advantages and applications are very much versatile as well. Polytetrafluoroethylene is the most iconic combination of a high-performance fluoropolymer, which is apparently just made of fluorine and carbon but does much more than what it is defined as. From being cost-effective to being the Optimus prime for everything ranging from your kitchen to the industries of chemical processing, oil&gas, electronics, and construction to whatnot.

So what makes it so distinct?

• Of course, how distinct can be the polymer chain of carbon and fluorine atoms? Let us evaluate some of the primary properties of PTFE. 
• It has an exclusive chemical, temperature, heat, moisture, and electric resistance. Yes, that is what keeps non-stick nonsticky. 
• It has extreme insulating power when it comes to moist and hot environments. It does not get damaged because it is a type of plastic. 
• It neither absorbs nor degrades with environmental damages.
• It holds an exception when it comes to UV, weathering, water, and light. Well, it can insulate those as well in addition to being an anti-adhesive.
• Having excellent fatigue resistance under profound stress and having high flexibility and purity grade add more to the value of this accident.
