• Beschreibung

  Tetrafl uoroethylene (TFE), also known as perfl uoroethylene, is a colorless, fl ammable, toxic gas. It is the monomer used for polytetrafl uoroethylene (PTFE), which is sold under the DuPont tradename of Tefl on. TFE is co-polymerized with other compounds to produce a variety of Tefl ons. TFE is produced by heating chlorodifl uoromethane (CHClF2, Freon-22) or trifl uoromethane (CHF3, Freon-23). TFE is used almost exclusively as a monomer in the production of PTFE. PTFE is a vinyl polymer, which means it is made from a monomer with carbon-carbon double bonds. PTFE is made from TFE by free radical polymerization.
  PTFE’s unique physical properties are due to its chemical structure. PTFE consists of long chains of carbon atoms surrounded by fluorine atoms. The fluorine atoms act as a protective barrier that shields the carbon-carbon bond from chemical attack. The fluorine atoms repel other atoms, making it diffi cult for anything to stick to PTFE. PTFE resins have very low coeffi cients of friction (< 0.1). The strong fluorine-to-carbon bonds and high electronegativity of fluorine make PTFE very stable. The long chains of PTFE pack closely together to give a dense crystalline solid. The packing, which can be compared to stacking boards, produces little cross-linking.

• Chemische Eigenschaften

  white powder, or white solid with a slippery feel

• Chemische Eigenschaften

  Polytetrafluoroethylene is a white solid with a waxy appearance and feel. It is a tough flexible material of moderate tensile strength with a tendency to creep under compression.The electrical insulation properties are outstanding and are nearly as good as those of polyethylene. The coefficient of friction is unusually low and stated to be lower than that of any other solid; the non-stick properties are also excellent.
  Polytetrafluoroethylene has exceptional resistance to chemical attack and is inert towards all types of reagents except molten alkali metals and fluorine. No solvent is known for the polymer, but it is swollen by some fluorocarbon oils at temperatures approaching the crystalline melting point; other organic materials do not even swell the polymer.
  Polytetrafluoroethylene has high thermal stability and retains its properties over a wide temperature range. The polymer may be used up to about 300°C for long periods without loss of strength and thin sections remain flexible at temperatures below -100°C. There is some weight loss when polytetrafluoroethylene is heated above about 200°C but this very small up to about 350°C. The polymer also has good weather resistance.

• History

  The polymerized form of TFE was discovered accidentally by researchers at DuPont in 1938. During the mid-1930s, DuPont was investigating the development of new chlorofl uorocarbons (CFCs) for use as refrigerants. DuPont joined with General Motors to form a company called Kinetic Chemicals to combine their efforts in this area. Plunkett examined the properties of the substance. He discovered that the substance was inert to other chemicals, had a high melting point, and was very slippery. Plunkett also worked on duplicating the conditions necessary to produce it from TFE. He applied for a patent for polytetrafl uoroethylene polymers in 1939, which was granted in 1941 (U.S. Patent 2230654). He assigned the patent to Kinetic Chemicals. DuPont registered the term Tefl on in 1945 and introduced Tefl on products the next year.
  Teflon is best known for its use in cookware, but its use in this area followed original industrial applications in gaskets, sealers, tape, and electrical insulation. Th ese applications were a direct result of the use of PTFE for military purposes during World War II.

• Definition

  A synthetic polymer made from tetrafluoroethene (i.e. CF₂:CF₂). It is able to withstand high temperatures without decomposing and also has a very low coefficient of friction, hence its use in non-stick pans, bearings, etc.

• synthetische

  The preferred commercial method of preparation of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is by suspension polymerization. The details of the procedures employed have not been disclosed but it appears that two main processes are in use. In the first process, the conventional techniques of suspension polymerization are used to produce a granular product suitable for moulding and extrusion. The tetrafluoroethylene is polymerized under pressure in stainless steel autoclaves with a free radical initiator such as ammonium persulphate. The reaction is rapid and exothermic and requires careful control. The polymer granules are collected, washed and dried. In the second process, conditions are adjusted to give a dispersion of polymer of much finer particle size and lower molecular weight. The product may be stabilized and employed in latex form in such uses as film casting, coating and impregnation of fibres. Alternatively, the product may be coagulated to give a powder (often called 'dispersion polymer') used mainly for the extrusion of thin flexible sections.

• Vorbereitung Methode

  Polytetrafluoroethylene is generally made from tetrafluoroethylene gas by free-radical polymerization under pressure with oxygen, peroxides, or peroxydisulfates. The “granular resins” have medium-size particles that range from 30 to 600 mm. Colloidal aqueous dispersions, made by a different process, are concentrated to about 60% by weight of the polymer and have particles that average about 0.2 mm. Coagulated dispersions with agglomerates that average 450mm are also available .
  The use of PTFE as a release agent in coatings and certain other food contact applications is permitted under FDA regulations .

• Allgemeine Beschreibung

  Poly(tetrafluoroethylene) is a fluoropolymer that is commercially known as PTFE. Its properties include high thermal stability, excellent chemical resistance, low dielectric constant and low surface energy. It is a hydrophobic polymer that is majorly used as a protective coating on the metal surface.

• Hazard

  Evolves toxic fumes on heating. Question- able carcinogen.

• Health Hazard

  Fumes of heated polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) cause polymer fume fever, an influenza-like syndrome.

• Industrielle Verwendung

  The polymer is insoluble, resistant to heat (upto 275°C) and chemical attack, and, in addition,has the lowest coefficient of friction of any solid.Because of its resistance to heat, the fabricationof polytetrafluoroethylene requires modificationof conventional methods. After molding thepowdered polymer using a cold press, the moldingsare sintered at 360 to 400°C by proceduressimilar to those used in powder metallurgy. Thesintered product can be machined or punched.Extrusion is possible if the powder is compoundedwith a lubricating material. Aqueoussuspensions of the polymer can also be used forcoating various articles. However, special surfacetreatments are required to ensure adhesionbecause polytetrafluoroethylene does not adherewell to anything.
  Polytetrafluoroethylene (TFE resin) is usefulfor applications under extreme conditions ofheat and chemical activity. Polytetrafluoroethylenebearings, valve seats, packings, gaskets,coatings, and tubing can withstand relativelysevere conditions. Fillers such as carbon, inorganicfibers, and metal powders may be incorporatedto modify the mechanical and thermalproperties.
  Because of its excellent electrical properties,polytetrafluoroethylene is useful when adielectric material is required for service at ahigh temperature. The nonadhesive quality isoften turned to advantage in the use of polytetrafluoroethyleneto coat articles such as rollsand cookware to which materials might otherwiseadhere.

• Sicherheitsprofil

  The finished polymerized compound is inert under ordinary condtions. There have been reports of “polymer fume fever” in humansexposed to pyrolysis products, whch also are irritants. Smohng should be prohibited in areas where ths material is being fabricated or, in general, where there may be dust from it. Exposure to pyrolysis or decomposition products appears to be the chief health-related problem. Questionable carcinogen with experimental tumorigenic data by implant. Incompatible with fluorine, sodmm potassium alloy. Under the proper conditions it undergoes hazardous reactions with boron, magnesium, or titanium. When heated to above 750°F it decomposes to yield highly toxic fumes of F-.

• Carcinogenicity

  Animal studies have not demonstrated that this polymer is carcinogenic. No data are available in humans. The polymer is not classifiable as to its human carcinogenicity. However, the EPA found that perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a chemical used to produce PTEE is a “likely carcinogen.

• Environmental Fate

  PTFE is the most stable of all TFE polymers and under physiological conditions does not release any components (IARC Monograph 74, 1999). PTFE is very inert chemically; only alkali metals and fluorine under pressure attack PTFE (Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)). There are no known ecotoxicological effects for PTFE (DuPont MSDS, 2011).

• Toxicity evaluation

  There is no apparent mechanism of toxicity for orally administered PTFE as no toxicologically significant effects were observed following oral administration to rats for up to 90 days. The lack of toxicity is most likely due to the following: (1) gastrointestinal absorption of PTFE is negligible given its extremely high molecular weight (1 000 000–10 000 000 for PTFE fine powder); (2) PTFE is chemically inert under physiologic conditions; and (3) PTFE is not metabolized (Donovan et al., 1990; Kim, 1996; Veber et al., 2002). The mechanism of action of subcutaneously injected PTFE in mice is attributed to localized inflammation consistent with a foreignbody response; similar effects were seen following subareolar injection in rabbits and dogs, and periurethral injections in dogs.
  When PTFE is heated or exposed to temperatures ≥200°C, it will decompose and release toxic vapors that cause polymerfume fever in humans.
