PTFE has the remarkable property
of being both hydrophobic (water shedding) and oleophobic
(oil shedding). Water cannot readily wet out the surfaces.
The water droplets behave like mercury when confronted
with the coated surface. This condition is critical for
specialised areas of filtration and beneficial in reducing
water absorption leading to the onset of corrosion. The
resistance of oils is useful to keep surfaces clean. It
is also beneficial for cooking and specialised areas of
lubrication. Recent developments include fibre composites
and fabrics.
Since surfaces coated with Teflon® are both oleophobic
