Material Safety Data
General
Synonyms: PTFE, Teflon, polytetrafluoroethylene, poly(ethylene tetrafluoride), tetrafluoroethylene polymer, tetrafluoroethylene homopolymer
Use:
Molecular formula:
CAS No: 9002-84-0
EINECS No: 204-126-9
Physical data
Appearance: white powder, or white solid with a slippery feel
Melting point: 327 C
Boiling point:
Vapour density:
Vapour pressure:
Density (g cm-3): varies, depending upon form
Flash point:
