Explore the unique properties of PTFE (commonly known as Teflon or the "King of Plastics"), including its extreme chemical inertness, non-stick nature, low friction coefficient, and wide temperature resistance. Learn about its diverse applications in non-stick cookware, industrial seals, medical implants, outdoor apparel (e.g., GORE-TEX), and as a performance additive. Understand its advantages, limitations (e.g., mechanical strength, processing challenges), and essential safety guidelines (such as avoiding temperatures above 260°C) for informed use.
