1. Non-stick
Very few solid substances will permanently adhere to a Teflon finish. Although tacky materials may show some adhesion, almost all substances release easily.
2. Low coefficient of friction
The coefficient of friction of Teflon is generally in the range of 0.05 to 0.20, depending on the load, sliding speed and particular Teflon coating used.
Non wetting
Since surfaces coated with Teflon are both oleophobic and hydrophobic, they are not readily wetted. Cleanup is easier and more thorough – in many cases, surfaces are self-cleaning.
5. Unique electrical properties
Over a wide range of frequencies, Teflon has high dielectric strength, low dissipation factor, and very high surface resistivity. By special techniques, it can even be made electroconductive enough to be used as an anti-static coating.
6. Cryogenic stability
Many Teflon industrial coatings withstand severe temperature extremes without loss of physical properties. Teflon industrial costings may used at temperatures as low as -270°C/-454°F.
7. Chemical resistance
Teflon is normally unaffected by chemical environments. The only chemicals known to affect all Teflon industrial coatings are molten alkali metals and highly reactive fluorinating agents.
Heat resistance
Teflon industrial coatings can operate continuously at temperatures up to 260°C/500°F and can be used for intermittent service up to 316°C/600°F with adequate ventilation.
