Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is low-surface-energy plastic that is very difficult to bond. PTFE exclusively comprises fluorine and carbon atoms with no polar atoms such as oxygen or nitrogen.

The raw materials market is continuously impacted by factors including rising prices, limited supply and other uncertainties.

In 2018, the European Coatings Show continued to gain growth with more than 30,000 industry attendees present to explore the 1,135 exhibitors.
