PTFE is an acromym for polytetrafluorethene a thermoplastic made from the monomer tetrafluoroethene (CF2=CF2). It has a very high resistance to attack by chemicals, stability at high temperatures, and a very low coefficient of friction. PTFE is useful for its low friction properties; as a coating on cooking appliances, gaskets, skies, chemical apparatus and laboratory wares and on handling equipment for food and drugs. Its also very useful in high-temperature cable and wire insulations.
