PTFE is a material that is practically inert, it does not react with other chemical substances except in very special situations. This is basically due to the protection of the fluorine atoms on the carbon chain.

This lack of reactivity means that its toxicity is practically zero, and it is, in fact, the material with the lowest coefficient of friction known.

Another characteristic quality is its impermeability, also maintaining its qualities in humid environments.

It is also a great electrical insulator and extremely flexible, it is not altered by the action of light and is capable of withstanding temperatures from 200ºC to +260ºC.

Virgin PTFE is applied in the chemical, petroleum, pharmaceutical, hydraulic valves, etc. industries.
