What “the material” actually is
ПТФЭ is sold as grades, not as a single substance. Chemistry (C2F4)n, density ~2.2 g/cm³, heat band ~327 °C.
This atlas treats ПТФЭ as a system: mill route, coatings, tests and the cavity it sits in.

ПТФЭ is one of 32 materials in this atlas, grouped under polymers: history, structure, measured properties, process routes, uses, safety and market — not a product catalogue.
Scores compare ПТФЭ with the rest of the atlas on strength, heat, fire behaviour, insulation, workability and circularity. They are editorial, not certificates.
Seven chapters follow. Fire and insulation claims name test families (Euroclass, ASTM E84, ISO 5660, KS F) rather than inventing a single safety number.
Глубокое введение
Deep dive: ПТФЭ
ПТФЭ ((C2F4)n) is a family of grades whose density ~2.2 g/cm³, heat band ~327 °C, and fire letter high OI but pyrolysis fumes.
Heat, fire and insulation
Conductivity note: ~0.25 W/m·K. Insulation score 32/100 is relative to 32 entries — metals lose, VIPs and aerogels win.
Fire letter in editorial use: high OI but pyrolysis fumes. Do not equate A1 with “safe in a blaze” or E with “illegal”. Assemblies decide.
How it is made and used
Origin: DuPont 1938 Plunkett, United States. The process chapter follows feedstock → conversion → forming → finish → install.
Uses span buildings to defence / safety. Pairings matter: silicone.
Market and circularity
Producers below are landmarks, not an endorsement ranking. Prices are bands, not live quotes.
Circularity mark 24/100. Ask which scrap, which certificate, which year.

Частые вопросы
Is ПТФЭ non-combustible?
Declared reaction class in this atlas: high OI but pyrolysis fumes. Assemblies still need resistance tests.
Does ПТФЭ insulate?
Thermal mark 32/100 versus the atlas. Conductivity note: ~0.25 W/m·K.
What is the density band?
~2.2 g/cm³
How is it made?
Origin story: DuPont 1938 Plunkett (United States).
Can it be recycled?
Circularity mark 24/100 — editorial, route-specific.
Typical melting or failure heat?
~327 °C
What should it be paired with?
silicone: The other high-temp elastomer/plastic in kitchens.
Where is it specified?
Buildings, transport, energy and consumer goods — see the uses chapter.
