Abstract:
Teflon is considered to be a high
performance engineering plastic
because of its service temperature up
to about 300ºC and high impact
strength. Its tensile strength, fatigue
strength and creep resistance are
moderate. The electrical insulation
properties are outstanding and are nearly
as good as those of polyethylene. Teflon
has excellent self-lubricating property
and chemical resistance. Because of the
above mentioned properties, Teflon
products such as : rings, oil seals,
gaskets, rods, bushes bearings etc. have
got wide applications in automobile,
electrical and chemical industries.
