What is PTFE?
PTFE is the abbreviation of PTFE, commonly known as Teflon, PTFE and so on. Polytetrafluoroethylene (abbreviated as teflon or [PTFE, F4]) is known as the "king of plastics", and its Chinese trade names are Teflon, Teflon, PTFE, Teflon and PTFE. It is a polymer compound polymerized from tetrafluoroethylene, and the structural formula is -[-CF2-CF2-]n-. It has excellent chemical stability and corrosion resistance (it is one of the best materials in the world today, resistant to all other chemicals except molten metal sodium and liquid fluorine, and is widely used in various chemicals that need acid, alkali and organic solvents), sealing, high lubricity and non-stickiness. Polytetrafluoroethylene itself is not toxic to people, but ammonium perfluorooctanoate (PFOA), one of the raw materials used in the production process, is considered to be carcinogenic.

The temperature is-20 ~ 250℃ (-4 ~+482 F), allowing sudden cooling and heating, or alternating hot and cold operation.

Pressure -0. 1 ~ 6.4 MPa (full vacuum to 64 kgf/cm2).

Its appearance has solved many problems in China's chemical, petroleum, pharmaceutical and other fields. Teflon seals, gaskets and gaskets. Teflon seals, gaskets and sealing gaskets are made of suspension polymerized Teflon resin by molding. Compared with other plastics, PTFE has the characteristics of chemical corrosion resistance and is widely used as sealing material and filling material.

Used as engineering plastics, it can be made into PTFE pipes, rods, belts, plates, films and so on. Generally used for corrosion-resistant pipes, containers, pumps, valves, radars, high-frequency communication equipment, radio equipment, etc. The dispersion can be used as an insulating impregnating solution for various materials and as an anticorrosive coating for metal, glass and ceramic surfaces. Various PTFE rings, PTFE gaskets and PTFE fillers are widely used for flange sealing of various anti-corrosion pipelines. In addition, it can also be used for spinning, PTFE fiber-Teflon (foreign trade name Teflon).

At present, all kinds of PTFE products have played an important role in chemical industry, machinery, electronics, electrical appliances, military industry, aerospace, environmental protection, bridges and other national economic fields.

Usage conditions of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) industries: chemical industry, petrochemical industry, oil refining, chlor-alkali, acid making, phosphate fertilizer, pharmacy, pesticide, chemical fiber, printing and dyeing, coking, gas, organic synthesis, nonferrous smelting, steel, atomic energy and polymer filter materials, production of high-purity products (such as ionic membrane electrolysis), transportation and operation of viscous materials, and food and beverage with strict hygiene requirements.

Edit this paragraph to use the advantages.

High temperature resistance-the working temperature reaches 250℃.

Low temperature resistance-good mechanical toughness; Even if the temperature drops to-196℃, the elongation of 5% can be maintained.

Corrosion resistance-inert to most chemicals and solvents, resistant to strong acid and alkali, water and various organic solvents.

Weather resistance-has the best aging life among plastics.

High lubrication-the lowest coefficient of friction among solid materials.

Non-stick-it is the smallest surface tension in solid materials and does not stick to anything.

Non-toxic-physiological inertia, no adverse reaction after long-term implantation as artificial blood vessels and organs.

The relative molecular weight of PTFE is relatively large, ranging from hundreds of thousands to more than 10 million, usually millions (the degree of polymerization is in the order of 104, while polyethylene is only in the order of 103). Generally, the crystallinity is 90 ~ 95% and the melting temperature is 327 ~ 342℃. The CF2 units in PTFE molecules are arranged in zigzag. Because the radius of fluorine atom is slightly larger than that of hydrogen atom, adjacent CF2 units can not be completely trans-oriented, but form a spiral twisted chain, and fluorine atoms almost cover the surface of the whole polymer chain. This molecular structure explains various characteristics of PTFE. When the temperature is lower than 19℃, the 13/6 helix is formed; At 19℃, the phase transition occurs, and the molecules depolymerize slightly, forming 15/7 helix.

Although the carbon-carbon bond and fluorocarbon bond in perfluorocarbon need to absorb energy of 346.94 kj/mol and 484.88kJ/mol respectively, the depolymerization of PTFE to produce 1mol tetrafluoroethylene only needs energy of171.38 kJ. Therefore, PTFE is mainly depolymerized into tetrafluoroethylene during high temperature pyrolysis. The weight loss rates (%) of PTFE at 260℃, 370℃ and 420℃ are1×10-4.4×10-3 and 9× 10-2, respectively. It can be seen that PTFE can be used for a long time at 260℃. Because toxic by-products such as fluorophosgene and perfluoroisobutylene will be produced during pyrolysis, special attention should be paid to safety protection to prevent PTFE from contacting with open flames.

PTFE materials are widely used in national defense, military industry, atomic energy, petroleum, radio, electric machinery, chemical industry and other important departments. Products: PTFE rods, tubes, plates and turning plates. Polytetrafluoroethylene is a polymer of tetrafluoroethylene. The English abbreviation is PTFE. The structural formula is. It was discovered in the late 1930s and put into industrial production in the 1940s. The molecular weight of PTFE is relatively large, ranging from several hundred thousand to more than ten million, usually several million (the degree of polymerization is in the order of 104, while polyethylene is only in 103). Generally, the crystallinity is 90 ~ 95% and the melting temperature is 327 ~ 342℃. The CF2 units in PTFE molecules are arranged in zigzag. Because the radius of fluorine atom is slightly larger than that of hydrogen atom, adjacent CF2 units can not be completely trans-oriented, but form a spiral twisted chain, and fluorine atoms almost cover the surface of the whole polymer chain. This molecular structure explains various characteristics of PTFE. When the temperature is lower than 19℃, the 13/6 helix is formed; At 19℃, the phase transition occurs, and the molecules depolymerize slightly, forming 15/7 helix.

Although the carbon-carbon bond and fluorocarbon bond in perfluorocarbon need to absorb energy of 346.94 kj/mol and 484.88kJ/mol respectively, the depolymerization of PTFE to produce 1mol tetrafluoroethylene only needs energy of171.38 kJ. Therefore, PTFE is mainly depolymerized into tetrafluoroethylene during high temperature pyrolysis. The weight loss rates (%) of PTFE at 260℃, 370℃ and 420℃ are1×10-4.4×10-3 and 9× 10-2, respectively. It can be seen that PTFE can be used for a long time at 260℃. Because toxic by-products such as fluorophosgene and perfluoroisobutylene will be produced during pyrolysis, special attention should be paid to safety protection to prevent PTFE from contacting with open flames.

mechanical character

Its friction coefficient is very small, only 1/5 of polyethylene, which is an important feature of perfluorocarbon surface. Because the intermolecular force of fluorocarbon chain is extremely low, PTFE is not sticky.

PTFE maintains excellent mechanical properties in the wide temperature range of-196 ~ 260℃, and perfluorocarbon polymer is not brittle at low temperature.

Chemical corrosion resistance and weather resistance

PTFE is hardly corroded by any chemical agent except molten alkali metal. For example, when boiled in concentrated sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid or even aqua regia, its weight and properties remain unchanged, it is almost insoluble in all solvents, and only slightly soluble in total alkanes (about 0. 1g/ 100g) above 300℃. PTFE does not absorb moisture, does not burn, and is extremely stable to oxygen and ultraviolet rays, so it has excellent weather resistance.

Electrical property

radioresistance

The radiation resistance of PTFE is poor (104 rad). After being irradiated by high energy, it will degrade, and the electrical and mechanical properties of the polymer will obviously decrease.

polymerize

Polytetrafluoroethylene is produced by free radical polymerization of tetrafluoroethylene. Industrial polymerization is carried out by stirring in the presence of a large amount of water to disperse the heat of reaction and promote temperature control. Polymerization is generally carried out at 40 ~ 80℃ and 3 ~ 26 kgf/cm2. Inorganic persulfate and organic peroxide can be used as initiators, and redox initiation system can also be used. The heat released per mole of tetrafluoroethylene is171.38kj. In dispersion polymerization, perfluorosurfactants, such as perfluorooctanoic acid or its salts, must be added.
