What is the difference between TFE with PTFE?

The difference between the two is PTFE stands for Poly Tetra Fluoro Ethylene, which is DuPont's Teflon. TFE is Tetra Fluoro Ethylene, which is an odorless, tasteless gas and is deadly.


When was Teflon inveted?

On April 6, 1938, Roy Plunkett accidentally produced Teflon while experimenting with hydrochloric acid and TFE.


How was teflon discoverd?

On April 6, 1938, Roy Plunkett and his technician assistant, Jack Rebok, were setting up for an experiment with the refrigerant gas TFE. Plunkett hoped to make a refrigerant by reacting hydrochloric acid with TFE. Plunkett had made a hundred pounds of the gas, to be sure to have enough for all his chemical tests, and for toxicological tests as well. He stored the gas in metal cans with a valve release. Plunkett kept the cans on dry ice, to cool and liquefy the TFE gas. One of the pressurized cylinders of TFE that they had filled failed to discharge when its valve was opened. They weighed the tank to see if the gas had leaked out but it was still full. They tried to unclog the valve but nothing came out. Rebok suggested sawing the tank in half to see what had gone wrong. Despite the danger of explosion, Plunkett agreed. Inside the cylinder they found a white power. The gas had solidified through polymerization. Plunkett immediately began running tests on this new substance. He had to be sure it was viable so he conducted an experiment to reproduce the substance. The experiment was a success and Teflon was created.


How did they invent Teflon?

Teflon was invented in 1938 by a chemist named Roy J. Plunkett. He was working at DuPont and accidentally discovered the substance while attempting to create a new refrigerant. Plunkett discovered a white waxy residue, which turned out to have remarkable non-stick properties and became the basis for Teflon.


Can you use teflon on PVC threads?

Yes you can use Teflon tape or TFE paste. For best results hold tape in left hand and turn male fitting to the right being careful not to let any overhang in the opening so that it may come loose and cause problems further down the system.


How do you clean pipe thread compound TFE paste off of pipe threads?

It is spread on the threads of pipe before being screwed into a fitting so that the threads will make a seal. Since pipe threads are not machined to fit together perfectly the paste makes up the difference and is compressed between the grooves on the two halves.


What is the permeability of Teflon?

Ram B. Gupta and Kayoko Ono. Chemical Engineering, Auburn University, 0322 Haley Center, Auburn, AL 36849-5127Gas and vapor separations using polymer membranes has been brought to focus in the past 20 years. Teflon AF products (DuPont) are amorphous, glassy copolymers consisting of 2,2-bistrifluoromethyl-4,5-difluoro-1,3-dioxole (PDD) and tetrafluoroethylene (TFE). Teflon AF 2400 contains 87 mol % of PDD and 13 % of TFE with Tg = 240 C, whereas Teflon AF 1600 contains 65 mol % of PDD and 35 % of TFE with Tg = 160 C. Teflon AFs have high temperature stability and chemical resistance, as well as high free volume compared to the conventional glassy polymers. Permeability coefficients of CO2 in Teflon AF 2400, Teflon AF 1600, and poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) are measured, at varying feed pressure and temperature. The permeability increase in the order of PTFE < Teflon AF 1600 < Teflon AF 2400. This can be explained by the fact that PTFE is a semicrystalline polymer and Teflon AFs are high free volume glassy polymers. In addition, the reuse of the membrane for second and third time resulted in enhancement of the permeability, which can be attributed to the CO2 plasticization of the membrane. Further understanding of the transport of CO2 through the membranes is obtained by applying solution-diffusion model.
