TEFLON®
Teflon® is the trade name registered by E.I. DuPont Company for fluorocarbon fibers which are exceptionally stable to both heat and chemicals. Teflon® fiber has no known solvents except certain perfluorinated organic liquids at temperatures above 570°F. The fiber is inert to concentrated mineral acid, organic acid, alkalis, oxidizing agents and organic solvents at elevated temperatures.

The fiber remains flexible and non-brittle from minus -100°F to plus +450°-500°F without degradation. Above this temperature some decomposition is slow. The gaseous decomposition products evolved at high temperatures are highly toxic and must be removed from the work areas through adequate ventilation.

Teflon® fibers have a very low co-efficient of friction resulting in excellent cake discharge. This fact, coupled with its chemical inertness and resistance to dry and moist heat degradation, makes Teflon® suitable for filtration and dust collection under severe conditions. Its major weakness is abrasion resistance in which Teflon® is inferior to all other synthetic fibers except glass. The high price of Teflon® fiber limits its use in the filtration field. However, for uses under extreme temperature conditions, Teflon® may prove to be the most economical in the long run.

Heat Resistance: Teflon® TFE can be used in continuous service up to 500°F. Teflon® FEP can be used in continuous service up to 450°F. Due to zero moisture absorption, these fibers withstand moist heat temperatures about as well as dry temperature.
