PTFE, or Polytetrafluoroethylene, is a hydrophobic synthetic fluoropolymer which offers increased performance with negligible weight. It has excellent abrasive, chemical, corrosion-resistant properties and can withstand temperatures up to 260°C (500°F). Its superior non-stick properties provide smoother motions in high-friction environments, such as those containing pistons, pivot balls & gearing etc.
