PTFE was discovered accidentally by Roy J. Plunkett at the DuPont Company's Jackson Laboratory in 1938, during an attempt to manufacture a chlorofluorocarbon for use as refrigerant for the compression cycles.

In order to overcome some of the setbacks of the solid polymerized Teflon, gaskets have been produced to take advantage of the resilience of asbestos, rubber and other like materials.
The main properties of PTFE, which define its key areas of application include:
High melting point and enhanced mechanical strength.
