PTFE, Or Polytetrafluoroethylene, Is A Fluoropolymer-Based Thermoplastic Made Up Entirely Of Carbon And Fluorine Atoms. It Is Commonly Known By Its Dupont Trade Name, Teflon. Teflon's Temperature Resistance Properties Are Among The Highest Of All Common Engineering Plastics. It's Also Exceptionally Corrosion-Resistant Thanks To Its Fluoropolymer Chemical Makeup. CNC Machining In PTFE-Teflon Is CNC Machining PTFE-Teflon Is Relatively Easy Due To Its Low Strength And Relative Softness, Though It May Be Difficult To Maintain High Levels Of Precision.
PTFE-Teflon Is Distinguished From Most Engineering Plastics Because Of Its Very High Melting Point, Low Friction Coefficient, And Is Chemically Inert. These Unusual Properties Have Landed PTFE-Teflon Coatings Their Well-Known Role In Non-Stick Cookware And Additional Applications In The Food And Beverage, Petrochemical, Medical, And Electrical Components Industries.

Virgin PTFE-Teflon
Despite The Material's Use Primarily As A Coating, Some Medical Implants Are Manufactured Via CNC Machining In PTFE-Teflon. Teflon Is Inert And Therefore Medical Implants Made From This Material Are Not Rejected By The Body. Its Low Friction Coefficient Makes It Ideal For Sliding-Contact Components Like Bearings.
