Abstract The terms Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and Teflon are frequently used interchangeably, leading to considerable confusion within industrial and consumer markets. This analysis clarifies the relationship, establishing that while Teflon is a brand name for a specific formulation of PTFE, not all PTFE products fall under the Teflon brand. PTFE is the generic chemical name for […]
Abstract The question of whether polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tubing is suitable for food-contact applications commands a detailed examination of regulatory standards, material science, plus manufacturing practices. An investigation into its food safety reveals that virgin PTFE, when produced in compliance with stringent regulations like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) 21 CFR 177.1550 plus European […]
Abstract The safety of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) remains a subject of public and industrial concern, largely due to its historical association with perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a processing aid used in its past manufacturing. An examination of current scientific literature and regulatory standards as of 2025 reveals that the material itself, PTFE, is chemically inert, non-toxic, and […]
Abstract Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tape has long been a standard material for sealing threaded pipe joints in a vast array of plumbing applications. Its low-friction surface and chemical inertness make it a convenient and generally effective solution. However, its limitations, including a propensity for shredding, specific temperature and pressure constraints, and potential for improper application, have […]
