This document explains the principle that Teflon/fluororesin does not dissolve in solvents such as acids and alkalis.
■Chemical Resistance of Teflon / Fluororesin Teflon resin has high chemical resistance and does not dissolve, swell, or react with most acids, alkalis, and organic solvents. ■Reasons for the Excellent Chemical Resistance of Teflon / Fluororesin A major reason for the excellent chemical resistance of Teflon resin and fluororesin is its stable molecular structure. Teflon resin and fluororesin have a molecular structure where carbon atoms and fluorine atoms are connected in a linear chain. The bond energy of the carbon-fluorine (C-F) bond is very strong among chemical bonds, and furthermore, the C-C bond between carbon atoms is completely covered by fluorine atoms in a helical manner. Therefore, even when in contact with chemicals or solvents, they remain inert and do not degrade or dissolve as a resin, which means they have excellent chemical resistance. ■Products Utilizing the Chemical Resistance of Teflon / Fluororesin The chemical resistance of Teflon resin and fluororesin is used in various products in the chemical industry, semiconductor field, and medical and pharmaceutical sectors, such as: - Various gaskets - Packing materials - Pipes and hoses - Storage tanks - Reaction vessels - Heat exchangers *For more details, please download the materials or refer to the link below.*
