Mechanical properties medium-density polyethylene

The mechanical properties of PTFE at room temperature are similar to those of medium-density polyethylene, i.e., relatively soft with high elongation, and remaining useful over a wide range of temperatures, from cryogenic (just above absolute zero) to 260°C (500°F) its recommended upper use temperature.28 Stress-strain curves are strongly affected by the temperature however, even at 260°C (500°F) the tensile strength is about 6.5 MPa (942 psi).29...
