∙ 16y agoFriction. PTFE is a polytetrafluoroethylene - Teflon®. It's slippery. Slick. Hastelloy® C is just a specific alloy of nickel steel. But which one? (There are dozens.) Not that it matters that much. It almost seems as if the question was made "difficult" or "obscure" for some reason. Teflon is an amazing substance. It is resistant to attack by most chemicals. This largely inert material is also used in finely divided form as a lubricant additive. It's got great "slipperyness" to it. Rubbing steel on it will create friction and heat, but that and wear will be minimal compared to most of other things the steel could be rubbing on. The heavier the load, the more trouble the Teflon will have supporting it. It is, after all, a polymer, and it isn't super hard, so it can suffer "crush" damage when highly compressed.

Is PTFE hard or brittle?
PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) or Teflon is a ductile material you can see some tensile test on YouTube to understand that.
What is the lightest plastic?
Honestly, I don't know... but its not PTFE it might by osmium
What are some macro molecules?
Proteins, starch, poly(ethene), poly(propene) and PTFE are examples.
Is there a resin resistant to chlorine?
Not answering your Q directly, but PTFE was formulated to resist chlorine attack on process vessels. This may give you a starting direction.
What is PCTFE?
PCTFE is poly chlorotrifluoroehtylene or (CClF-CF2)n. It is a polymer, with properties similar to that of PTFE or poly tetrafluoroethylene or teflon or (CF2-CF2)n.
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
Uses for ptfe plumbers tape?
For thread sealent EXCEPT for gas then you need a PTFE approved for fuel and other gases
Is PTFE non biodegradable?
PTFE is not biodegradable. It can be degraded by pyrolysis or radiation.
What surface will glue not stick to?
Very few glues will stick to Teflon or other PTFE's
What is polytetrafluoethylene?
PolytetrafluoroethyleneIn chemistry, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene that finds numerous applications. PTFE is most well known by the DuPont brand name Teflon.PTFE is a fluorocarbon solid, as it is a high-molecular-weight compound consisting wholly of carbon and fluorine. PTFE is hydrophobic: neither water and water-containing substances are wet by PTFE, as fluorocarbons demonstrate mitigated London dispersion forces due to the high electronegativity of fluorine. PTFE has one of the lowest coefficients of friction against any solid.PTFE is used as a non-stick coating for pans and other cookware. It is very non-reactive, partly because of the strength of carbon-fluorine bonds, and so it is often used in containers and pipework for reactive and corrosive chemicals. Where used as a lubricant, PTFE reduces friction, wear, and energy consumption of machinery.

What is the difference between Teflon and ptfe?
PTFE stands for polytetrafluoroethylene. Teflon is the registered trade mark for this, and is owned by DuPont.
Where could one purchase PTFE tape?
There are many places where one can purchase PTFE tape. One can purchase PTFE tape at popular on the web sources such as Office Depot, Walmart, and Filters Fast.
