What are the advantages and disadvantages of plastic cookware?

Answer 1

advantages: * Inert to practically all commercial chemicals, acids, alcohols, coolants, elastomers, hydrocarbons, solvents, synthetic compounds and hydraulic fluids. * Rated for steam to 250 psi (406 degrees F) - has low volumetric expansion characteristics - easy to clean and sterilize. * Not affected by continuous flexing, vibration or impulse pressures - withstands alternating hot and cold cycling * Easier to move, handle and install than rubber hose with a comparable burst pressure rating. * The low coefficient of friction of Teflon and anti-stick properties lowers pressure drop while maintaining good service pressures. * Jackson Hose of Teflon has optional conductive liner for removing static build up through the flow path. * Will not contaminate material, fluid or gas conducted - Teflon is an FDA recognized material for food handling and pharmaceutical applications. * Handles substances such as adhesives, asphalt, dyes, greases, glue, latex, lacquers and paints with ease. * No moisture absorption, ideal as a pigtail in bulk gas handling and pneumatic systems where a low dew point is critical * Impervious to weather and can be stored for extended periods of time without aging. It will not age during service.
