Products Description
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a fluorocarbon solid, as it is a high-molecular-weight compound consisting wholly of carbon and fluorine. PTFE is hydrophobic: neither water nor water-containing substances wet PTFE, as fluorocarbons demonstrate mitigated London dispersion forces due to the high electro negativity of fluorine. PTFE has one of the lowest coefficients of friction against any solid.
