You want to perform a PTFE analysis
PTFE in a few words
First of all, the acronym PTFE stands for “polytetrafluoroethylene”. PTFE is a soft, easily deformable, semi-crystalline, opaque polymer that can be used in food applications. It is resistant to most chemicals, has an extremely low coefficient of friction and remains stable up to 327°C.
Why perform a PTFE analysis?
Determining the properties of your PTFE is essential in production process or end product control issues. A complete knowledge of the properties of your PTFE is also necessary to anticipate their evolution in their environment of use.
Indeed, PTFE is used in a large number of applications such as :
- Chemical instrumentation (especially for superacids)
- Non-stick coating of kitchen utensils
- Waterproof clothing
- Leak tester in plumbing
Thus, the support of a versatile and competent PTFE analysis laboratory is essential to address the full range of PTFE-related issues.
