| | Fluorotherm - Properties |
 | | Melt Temperature: PTFE - Does not melt, softens at 625 deg F, FEP - 500 deg F |
 | | PTFE, being a homopolymer, has the best thermal and best chemical resistance compared to copolymers. |
 | | In general PTFE has a tensile strength 15% to 20% lower than FEP; however, this difference may narrow at higher operating temperatures due to the higher sensitivity of FEP to increase to temperature. |
