Chemical Compatibility Reference Chart

Teflon® PTFE
Teflon®* PTFE Chemical Compatibility Chart: Check the chemical compatibility of Teflon®
and PTFE with various chemicals, solvents, alcohols and other products.

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is very non-reactive and is often used in containers holding

reactive and corrosive chemicals. According to DuPont, its melting point is 600 K (327 °C;
620 °F). It maintains high strength, toughness and self-lubrication at low temperatures
down to 5 K (-268.15 °C; -450.67 °F), and good flexibility at temperatures above 194 K (-
79 °C; -110 °F). Certain alkali metals and fluorinating agents such as xenon difluoride and
cobalt (III) fluoride can damage PTFE, but otherwise it is highly resistant.
