Abstract The classification of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) as either a rubber or a plastic is a frequent point of inquiry within materials science and industrial applications, stemming from its unique combination of properties. This analysis definitively establishes PTFE as a high-performance, semi-crystalline thermoplastic, a member of the fluoropolymer family, and fundamentally distinct from elastomers, or rubbers. […]
Abstract Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tubing is renowned for its exceptional chemical inertness, high-temperature resistance, and low-friction surface, making it a cornerstone material in industries ranging from aerospace and chemical processing to medical devices and 3D printing. However, the operational lifespan of these tubes is not an absolute value but is contingent upon a complex interplay of […]
PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is known for its corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and low friction, and is called the “king of plastics.” But common questions on the engineering side are: Is PTFE tubing flexible? Can it bend in a small space? How does it perform compared to extruded tubing, corrugated tubing, and metal braided reinforced tubing? This article helps […]
3D printing relies on precise components to ensure smooth operations and high-quality results, and PTFE tubing plays a key role in making this happen. But what exactly does it do in 3D printing? Let’s explore its main uses, dive deeper into technical details, and look at real-world applications to understand why it’s a top choice for printers. 1. Feeding High-Temperature Filaments In FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printers, […]
