ʻO ke kumu nui no ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka PTFE i nā ʻāpana i hana ʻia me ka maʻamau, ʻo ia ka hui pū ʻana o nā waiwai maikaʻi. ʻO kona inertness kemika kupaianaha e hōʻoia i ke kūʻē ʻana i nā kemika i ʻike ʻia, nā solvents, a me nā mea ʻawaʻawa, e kūpono ai no nā ʻāpana i ka hana kemika, nā lako hana hoʻokolohua, a me nā wahi ʻoihana ʻino. ʻO ka laulā o ka mahana hana, maʻamau mai -200°C a i +260°C (-328°F a i +500°F), e ʻae ai i ka hana hilinaʻi i nā kūlana wela koʻikoʻi. ʻO ke coefficient haʻahaʻa loa o ka friction e hōʻemi i ka ʻaʻahu a me ka pipili ʻana i nā noi dynamic, ʻoiai ʻo kona mau waiwai dielectric maikaʻi loa e kūpono ia no nā ʻāpana uila kūikawā.
ʻO ka hana ʻana o nā ʻāpana i hana ʻia e ka PTFE e pili ana i nā ʻano hana hana pololei like ʻole, me ka mīkini CNC, ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana (compression, injection), a me ka skiving, ma muli o ka paʻakikī o ka hoʻolālā, nā ʻae ʻia e pono ai, a me ka nui o ka hana. ʻAe ka mīkini CNC i nā ʻano paʻakikī a me nā ʻae ʻia paʻa, e kūpono ai no nā prototypes a me nā holo hana liʻiliʻi a waena. Hoʻohana pinepine ʻia nā ʻano hana hoʻoheheʻe no ka hana nui ʻana o nā geometries paʻakikī. Hoʻohana ʻia ka Skiving e hana i nā pepa lahilahi a me nā lipine hiki ke hana hou ʻia i nā ʻano i hana ʻia.
He ākea nā noi no nā ʻāpana i hana ʻia me ka PTFE a uhi i nā ʻāpana he nui. I ka ʻoihana semiconductor, he mea nui nā ʻāpana PTFE maʻemaʻe kiʻekiʻe no ka lawelawe ʻana i nā kemika koʻikoʻi a me ka mālama ʻana i nā wahi maʻemaʻe. Hoʻohana ka ʻoihana mea lapaʻau i ka PTFE biocompatible no nā implants a me nā mea hana ʻokiʻoki. Loaʻa nā noi aerospace mai ka māmā a me ke kūpaʻa wela o ka PTFE i nā sila, nā bushings, a me nā insulators. Hilinaʻi nā hale hana hana kemika i nā linings PTFE maʻamau, nā sila, a me nā ʻāpana pamu no ko lākou kūpaʻa i ka pala. Hoʻohana nā ʻoihana uila a me nā ʻoihana uila i nā insulators PTFE maʻamau, nā mea hoʻohui, a me nā uhi uea no ko lākou mau waiwai dielectric kiʻekiʻe.
Eia kekahi, hiki ke hana ʻia nā ʻāpana PTFE i hana ʻia me nā hoʻololi kikoʻī e hoʻomaikaʻi i ka hana no nā noi kikoʻī. Hiki ke hoʻokomo ʻia nā mea hoʻopihapiha e like me nā olonā aniani, kalapona, graphite, a keleawe paha e hoʻomaikaʻi i ke kūpaʻa ʻana i ka ʻaʻahu, ka conductivity thermal, a i ʻole ke kūpaʻa kolo ma lalo o ke kaumaha. Hiki ke hoʻopili ʻia nā hana ʻili e hoʻololi i nā waiwai frictional a hoʻomaikaʻi paha i nā hiki ke hoʻopaʻa. Ma ka hoʻopilikino ʻana i ka haku mele a me ka hoʻolālā o ka ʻāpana, hiki i nā ʻenekinia ke hana i nā ʻāpana PTFE i hana pono ʻia e hoʻokō pono i nā koi koi o kā lākou mau noi kikoʻī, e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ana i ka hana maikaʻi loa, ka lōʻihi, a me ka palekana.
