Teflon Data

Chemical Resistance

  1. No attack, possibly slight absorption. Negligible effect on mechanical properties.
  2. Slight attack by absorption. Some swelling and a small reduction in mechanical properties likely.
  3. Moderate attack of appreciable absorption. Material will have limited life.
  4. Material will decompose or dissolve in a short time.

    5. * No data available
