Service Temperature: 
Excellent resistance to continuous service temperatures up to 260° C and, for limited periods, even to higher temperatures; the low temperature resistance of the product allows satisfactory performance at as low –200° C.

Chemical resistance:
PTFE possesses a high inertness towards nearly all known chemicals. It is only attacked by elemental alkali metals, chlorine trifluoride and elemental fluorine at high temperature and pressures.

Solvents resistance
PTFE is insoluble in all solvents up to temperatures as high as 300° C (572° F). Certain highly fluorinated oils only swell and dissolve PTFE at temperatures close to the crystalline melting point.
