| 11 | Chemical Resistance | PTFE is chemically inert & unaffected by all known chemicals except molten or dissolved alkali metals- Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium, Francium & Fluorine Gas, certain fluorine compounds and complexes at elevated temperatures. Filled PTFE has inferior chemical resistance depending upon the particular filler. | |||||
