This is the brand name for a number of fluorinated polymers manufactured by E.I. DuPont de Nemours. Many valve manufacturers use this term illegally, when in fact their products are not Teflon® but generic PTFE, PFA etc.
Teflon is the brand name of a polymer compound used for many different applications but is mostly known for its durability.
A trademark for a waxy opaque material used as a coating on cooking utensils to give them a non-stick surface.
The Dupont brand name for HDPE resin. This material is often used to comply with smoke resistance requirements of the National Electric Code. Plenum cable is frequently Teflon cable. See also: Plenum, PVC.
TM...... This fluorocarbon (Polytetrafluoroethylene) is almost totally insoluble and chemically inert and exhibits a natural lubricity. Teflon is DuPont's trademark.
a durable water- and stain-repellent finish by DuPont.
DuPont Company trademark for fluorocarbon resins. (FEP - Fluorinated ethylene-propylene. A thermo-plastic material with good electrical insulating properties and chemical and heat resistance.). (TFE - Tetrafluoroethylene. A thermoplastic material with good electrical insulating properties and chemical and heat resistance.). It is not suitable where subjected to nuclear radiation and does not have good high voltage characteristics. FEP Teflon is extrudable in a manner similar to PVC and polyethylene. This means that long wire and cable lengths are available. TFE Teflon is extrudable in a hydraulic ram type process. Lengths are limited due to amount of material in the ram, thickness of the insulation, and preform size. TFE must be extruded over a silver- or nickel-coated wire. The cost of Teflon is approximately 8 to 10 times more per pound than PVC compounds.
a material used to coat cooking utensils and in industrial applications where sticking is to be avoided
DuPontâ„¢ trade name for the fluorocarbon material typically used as the insulation on wire.
Also known as PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), it is used for implants and is also available as barbells, these can be very useful when having x-rays. PTFE is also useful where a flexible barbell is needed.
Trade name for DuPont's TFE sheet grade of fluorocarbon resins. See Teflon on our Materials Reference Chart.
A DuPont trademark. It's pretty remarkable, clothes that feel perfectly soft and natural, yet resist stains well. The easy-care Teflon® protector is built right into the clothing's fabric. It lasts and protects for a long, long time.
Registered trade name of E.I. DuPont de Nemours Co., (Inc.) for a material having non-stick characteristics. Sometimes a Teflon material is used for gaskets.
A DuPont Company trademark for polytetrafluoroethylene.
Dupont Company trademark for fluorocarbon resins. ( See FEP and TFE)
A fluoropolymer resin by Dupont. Used as a coating on some industrial fixtures to prevent corrosion where there are certain type of pollutants in the air surrounding the fixture.
A fluorocarbon polymer used for insulation of electrical wires (trademark of DuPont Company).
DuPont Corporation's trade name for their solid, chemically inert polymer of tetrafluoroethylene.
A trade name for a polymer of polytetrafluoroethylene, characterized by extreme chemical inertness, withstanding the attack of all reagents except molten alkali metals; a tough, heat-resistant fluorocarbon resin used in packing, bearings, filters, electrical insulation, cooking utensils, and plumbing sealants.
A durable, long-lasting fabric protector that forms a molecular shield around the fibers, guarding them from oil-and-water based stains, dust and soil.
Product made by DuPont that protects against stains. It is breathable, durable, safe and gentle. Fabrics are easier to care for.
material required as a casing for cables in areas with plenum ceilings.
A brand name used by DuPont for a stain-resist fabric treatment.
Trade name for a synthetic sometimes used to coat hard bullets to protect the rifling. Other synthetics, nylon for instance, have also been used as bullet coatings. None of these soft coatings has any effect on lethality.
Trade name for a high temperature industrial plastic material used in cookware finishes, bearings, lubricating, plumbing sealants, and a practically inert coating on metal and glass surfaces.
