| [History]
The polymerized form of TFE was discovered accidentally by researchers at DuPont in 1938. During the mid-1930s, DuPont was investigating the development of new chlorofl uorocarbons (CFCs) for use as refrigerants. DuPont joined with General Motors to form a company called Kinetic Chemicals to combine their efforts in this area. Plunkett examined the properties of the substance. He discovered that the substance was inert to other chemicals, had a high melting point, and was very slippery. Plunkett also worked on duplicating the conditions necessary to produce it from TFE. He applied for a patent for polytetrafl uoroethylene polymers in 1939, which was granted in 1941 (U.S. Patent 2230654). He assigned the patent to Kinetic Chemicals. DuPont registered the term Tefl on in 1945 and introduced Tefl on products the next year.
Teflon is best known for its use in cookware, but its use in this area followed original industrial
applications in gaskets, sealers, tape, and electrical insulation. Th ese applications were a
direct result of the use of PTFE for military purposes during World War II. | [Production Methods]
Polytetrafluoroethylene is generally made from tetrafluoroethylene
gas by free-radical polymerization under pressure
with oxygen, peroxides, or peroxydisulfates. The “granular
resins” have medium-size particles that range from 30 to
600 mm. Colloidal aqueous dispersions, made by a different
process, are concentrated to about 60% by weight of the
polymer and have particles that average about 0.2 mm.
Coagulated dispersions with agglomerates that average
450mm are also available .
The use of PTFE as a release agent in coatings and certain
other food contact applications is permitted under FDA
regulations . | [General Description]
Poly(tetrafluoroethylene) is a fluoropolymer that is commercially known as PTFE. Its properties include high thermal stability, excellent chemical resistance, low dielectric constant and low surface energy. It is a hydrophobic polymer that is majorly used as a protective coating on the metal surface. | [Health Hazard]
Fumes of heated polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) cause polymer fume fever,
an influenza-like syndrome. | [Industrial uses]
The polymer is insoluble, resistant to heat (upto 275°C) and chemical attack, and, in addition,has the lowest coefficient of friction of any solid.Because of its resistance to heat, the fabricationof polytetrafluoroethylene requires modificationof conventional methods. After molding thepowdered polymer using a cold press, the moldingsare sintered at 360 to 400°C by proceduressimilar to those used in powder metallurgy. Thesintered product can be machined or punched.Extrusion is possible if the powder is compoundedwith a lubricating material. Aqueoussuspensions of the polymer can also be used forcoating various articles. However, special surfacetreatments are required to ensure adhesionbecause polytetrafluoroethylene does not adherewell to anything.
Polytetrafluoroethylene (TFE resin) is usefulfor applications under extreme conditions ofheat and chemical activity. Polytetrafluoroethylenebearings, valve seats, packings, gaskets,coatings, and tubing can withstand relativelysevere conditions. Fillers such as carbon, inorganicfibers, and metal powders may be incorporatedto modify the mechanical and thermalproperties.
Because of its excellent electrical properties,polytetrafluoroethylene is useful when adielectric material is required for service at ahigh temperature. The nonadhesive quality isoften turned to advantage in the use of polytetrafluoroethyleneto coat articles such as rollsand cookware to which materials might otherwiseadhere. | [Carcinogenicity]
Animal studies have not demonstrated
that this polymer is carcinogenic. No data are
available in humans. The polymer is not classifiable as to
its human carcinogenicity. However, the EPA found that
perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a chemical used to produce
PTEE is a “likely carcinogen. | [Environmental Fate]
PTFE is the most stable of all TFE polymers and under physiological
conditions does not release any components (IARC
Monograph 74, 1999). PTFE is very inert chemically; only alkali
metals and fluorine under pressure attack PTFE (Hazardous
Substances Data Bank (HSDB)). There are no known ecotoxicological
effects for PTFE (DuPont MSDS, 2011). | [Toxicity evaluation]
There is no apparent mechanism of toxicity for orally administered
PTFE as no toxicologically significant effects were
observed following oral administration to rats for up to
90 days. The lack of toxicity is most likely due to the following:
(1) gastrointestinal absorption of PTFE is negligible given its
extremely high molecular weight (1 000 000–10 000 000 for
PTFE fine powder); (2) PTFE is chemically inert under physiologic
conditions; and (3) PTFE is not metabolized (Donovan
et al., 1990; Kim, 1996; Veber et al., 2002). The mechanism
of action of subcutaneously injected PTFE in mice is attributed
to localized inflammation consistent with a foreignbody
response; similar effects were seen following subareolar
injection in rabbits and dogs, and periurethral injections
in dogs.
When PTFE is heated or exposed to temperatures ≥200°C,
it will decompose and release toxic vapors that cause polymerfume
fever in humans. |

| Questions And Answer | Back Directory | [Description]
Poly-(Tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE, Brand name: Teflon, Fluon, Hostaflon, and Polyflon) is a kind of strong, tough, waxy and nonflammable synthetic resin. Its structure formula is [CF2-CF2]n with a carbon backbone chain. It is produced through the free-radical polymerization of tetrafluoroethylene. PTFE has slippery surface, high melting point, and is extremely chemically inert. This property make it have a lot of applications. Its biggest application is for the wiring in aerospace and computer applications due to its excellent dielectric properties, e.g. as the insulator in cables and connector. In industry, PTFE can be applied in places where sliding action of parts is required due to its low friction such as plain bearings, gears and slide plates. PTFE is also applied in the production of carbon fiber composites and fiberglass composites. In addition, owing to its chemical inertia and high thermal resistance, PTFE is applied in places where acids, alkalis or other chemical are used, e.g. as the liner in industrial pipe lines.
| [Preparation]
Poly(tetrafluoroethylene) is prepared from tetrafluoroethylene and consists of repeating units in a predominantly linear chain:
F2C=CF2 --->[-CF2-CF2-]n
Tetrafluoroethylene polymer has the lowest coefficient of friction of any solid. It has remarkable chemical resistance and a very low brittleness temperature (100C). Its dielectric constant and loss factor are low and stable across a broad temperature and frequency range. Its impact strength is high.
