When was PTFE teflon tape first used for plumbing applications?
I believe around the 1970's
Examples of translucent materials?
Anything halfway between clear (transparent) and Opaque (doesn't transmit light). I often think if a clear/white translucent like some PEX tubing, polyethylene, Teflon tubing, some tupperware, & etc. Someone suggested wax paper. Frosted Glass. Perhaps agates.
What elements make up Teflon?
Teflon, a DuPont trademarked product, is a fluoropolymer, and there are three flavors of it now. Let's look at them. One is polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon-PTFE), which is the stuff cookware is coated with. It's carbon and fluorine. Another is perfluoroalkoxy (Teflon-PFA), and it's used to make tubing and other products. It is largely like PTFE, but has a bit of oxygen in its chemistry. The third is fluorinated ethylene propylene (Teflon-FEP), and its about the same as Teflon PFA, which is to say it's mostly carbon and fluorine with a bit of oxygen. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on Teflon, and you can link to the other articles from there and look at the chemical structure of a given example of one of the fluoropolymers.
Can teflon be recycled?
PTFE does not have it's own recycling code symbol. However, PTFE can be recycled into many other products. Recycled PTFE can be used for rods, tubing, tape and more
Can your water pipe be made of tubing?
More information needed. -Water pipe to where, -tubing, -there are hundreds of kinds of 'tubing' and most water pipes are made from some kind of tubing.
What is telfon?
TEFLON, is the most slippery substance known to man. Answer: Teflon is the trademark name for Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) a fluorocarbon solid used as a coating for cooking pans and to reduce friction in moving parts. As bulk solid it is used in plastic parts and tubing. The notable features of teflon are its low coefficient of friction, its non reactive nature with a wide range of chemicals, and the fact that it is wet by neither water or oils.
Is teflon brittle?
No, polytetrafluoroethylene (trade name: Teflon) is generally not brittle.
How do you bend copper tubing?
that would depend on the temper of the tubing as some types cannot be bent
What are some applications of plastics extrusion?

What is special about Teflon?
- Teflon is very resistant to other chemicals - Teflon is a good electrical insulator - Teflon is thermo-resistant - Teflon has a very low coefficient of friction - Teflon is a non-stick material used for coatings - Teflon is a thermoplastic material
When is Level Wound Coil tubing used?
Level Wound Coils are used in various applications, including refrigeration and air conditioning systems.
What is the density of teflon?
Density of POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE (TEFLON):The density of Teflon is 2200 kg/m3.
