The Usage Of PTFE In Few Fields

PTFE possesses some special properties, which makes it widely applied in some industries like chemical, silicone sheet, petroleum, textile, food, paper making, medical science, electric, mechanics and the offshore operation.

Often used to make the rod, Teflon sheet, Teflon mesh, and Teflon film. To know more about Teflon mesh read this article.

1 The application of its anti-corrosion property

Some materials like rubber hose, glass, and metal alloy aren't so good at anti-corrosion, so they can't be utilized in the environment which has high requirements on temperature, pressure, and chemical mediators.

Now PTFE has become the main material utilized in petroleum, chemical and textile owing to its superior anti-corrosion property.

It is mainly utilized to make the delivery pipe for transferring corrosive air, the exhaust pipe, the steam pipe, the high-pressure oil pipe in the rolling mill, the high, medium and low-pressure pipe of the hydraulic system and the cold system in the plane, the rectification column, the heat exchanger, the kettle, the tower, the lining of the groove and the valve, etc.

2 The application in the electronic and electric field

PTFE is low in loss and small in dielectric constant, so it can be used to make the Teflon sheet that is utilized in the mini engine, thermoelectric couple and the controlling equipment.

PTFE Teflon film is the ideal material for making the capacitor, the insulating backing employed in wireless equipment, the insulating cable, the motor, and the transformer.

It is also one of several indispensable materials employed to make the electric parts in the aviation and aerospace fields. Because oxygen can penetrate PTFE Teflon film easily while vapor can penetrate PTFE Teflon film difficultly, we invent the oxygen sensor by this property.
