Resistance to extremes of temperatures Chemical Resistance Flame Retardancy and Electrical Properties Low Friction, Non-stick and Weather Resistance Comparison between fluoropolymers and other plastics

Heat Resistance The melting points of fluoropolymers are extremely high; most are 200°C or above. Continuous service temperatures of fluoropolymers are 150°C - 260°C, the highest continuous service temperatures for plastics.   Melting Point Continuous Service Temperature Fluon®PTFE Fluon®PFA Fluon®ETFE 327°C 310°C 270°C 260°C 260°C 150°C Cold Resistance Fluon®PTFE still has tensile elongation of 3% at the very low temperature of -253°C. Continuous Service Temperature Fluon®PTFE Fluon®PFA Fluon®ETFE -100°C -100°C -80°C Fluoropolymers have increased resistance to cold compared to common plastics.
