Abstract:

A survey of the following properties of tetrafluoroethylene plastics was made mechanical, Electrical, thermal, chemical and irradiation behaviour. Each property set of data represents the greatest range of parameters temperature, frequency, pressure, voltage and environmental conditions vacuum, radiation, etc. found in the literature. The effects of fillers on every property are also detailed where such data were available. Applications such as space, mechanical, electrical and cryogenic, are treated in some detail for the various fabricated forms of tetrafluoroethylene. A brief discussion of forming and fabrication, joining and fastening methods, and sources of specifications is given to aid the designer in selecting tetrafluoroethylene plastics for various applications.
