The striping and printing inks for FEP and PTFE are water-based.
The PTFE LND-based coating functions as a shield that reduces the influence of outside radiation.
The PTFE LND will reduce RF noise in coaxial cables when they are in motion (e.g.

Cesa™ Flame Retardant Additives PTFE-free and Non-halogen for Polycarbonate Polycarbonate is a material of choice for E&E products as it provides very good impact strength, dimensional stability, and heat resistance.Some applications require the use of flame-retardant solutions to increase safety and ensure compliance with fire hazard standards.
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which is classed as a per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS), is often used as an anti-drip agent.
Avient’s PTFE-free and non-halogen Cesa™ Flame Retardant Additives for polycarbonate are formulated without PTFE and are non-halogen in accordance with the IEC 61249-2-21 standard.

LubriOne™ Internally Lubricated Formulations – PTFE-free Solutions LubriOne™ Internally Lubricated Formulations are self-lubricating polymers, offering low coefficients of friction (COF) and improved wear-resistance properties for molded parts.
Extending the existing portfolio, PTFE-free LubriOne Internally Lubricated Formulations are made without polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
This helps customers adhere to proposed regulatory restrictions surrounding the use of polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) of which PTFE is classified as.

Roy Plunkett accidentally created polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
PTFE can be applied as a coating, extruded as a paste, or molded using compression molding or metal powder-processing techniques.
