Everflon® PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is available as a white powder, often called fine powder.Everflon® PTFE fine powders are generally converted into usable articles (shapes, wire insulation and tapes, etc) via paste extrusion, followed by post extrusion heating to remove residual hydrocarbon solvents and to increase material density.Products manufactured with genuine Everflon® PTFE fine powder are rated for continuous service temperatures up to 260°C (500°F).The properties of Everflon® PTFE fine powder are very similar to those of standard Everflon® PTFE granular material.
