Although its mechanical properties are low in comparison to other engineered thermoplastics the addition of additives can greatly improve them. Virgin grade PTFE is FDA approved and as a result can be used in high temperature areas in the food processing and service industry as insulators and bearings. The low coefficient of friction makes PTFE an excellent choice for bearing, bushing and other wear applications.
