The higher boiling point solvents tend to be poorer solvents for Teflon AF at room
temperature vs. the lower boilers. Solubility however generally improves for all
solvents with increasing temperature.
Typical Procedure
Weigh out polymer and perfluorinated solvent into a clean
sealed container. For rolling agitation we recommend bottles
certified to be pre-cleaned to 5 microns particle size. As
an example, using FC-40, the maximum solubility at room
temperature for each grade of Teflon AF is:
