The PTFE-Teflon Confusion Problem Many manufacturers and engineers struggle to understand the relationship between PTFE and Teflon. This confusion leads to: The truth? PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is the chemical compound, while Teflon is DuPont’s brand name for PTFE-based products. This guide clarifies their differences and helps you make informed decisions. What Are PTFE and Teflon? Chemical Composition Key Properties Comparison Property PTFE Teflon Temperature Range -200°C to +260°C -270°C to +315°C Friction Coefficient 0.05-0.10 0.02-0.10 Chemical Resistance Excellent Enhanced Cost $ $$ Data source: Plastics Industry Association 2023 Report 2 Critical Differences Between PTFE and Teflon 1. Manufacturing and Branding 2. Performance Characteristics Case Study: A food processing plant reduced equipment downtime by 35% after switching to Teflon-coated components instead of generic PTFE.
