It has the ability to maintain high strength, toughness and self-lubrication at low temperatures (around 5 K) and good flexibility at temperatures above 194K.

Properties of Teflon

• Its density is about 2200 kg/m3 2.2 g/cm3
• Its melting point is 600 K.
• It shows good resistance to heat and low temperatures.
• It has anti-stick properties, which makes it used as a non-stick kitchen utensil.

Use of Teflon

• It is used in the production of waterproof fabrics.
• It is used in the production of non-stick cookware.
• It is used in the manufacture of anti-friction devices.
