* PTFE will elongate under load at elevated temperature.
* Low abrasion resistance.
PTFE is the 'ultimate' regular fibre as it has outstanding chemical and thermal resistance, with the right chemistry, it will operate up to 250°C.
White PTFE, which is actually ribbon like in nature is rapidly supplanting brown due to its collection efficiency and greater cost effectiveness. While Brown PTFE is very much like a traditional textile fibre in appearance was the original PTFE fibre sold as Teflon.
