Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene.
Being hydrophobic, non-wetting, high density and resistant to high temperatures, PTFE is an incredibly versatile material with a wide variety of applications, though it's perhaps best-known for its non-stick properties.
PTFE is one of the most affordable fluoropolymers on the market, and has one of the best performance to price ratios.
It is often used in construction projects for structures such as car parks, supermarkets and bridges, since it enables affordable structure expansion without worrying about strain being put on rigid elements. Plus, its resistance against weather damage and general wear and tear make it an extremely long-lasting material.
