Ekiwandiiko kino kigeraageranya obutuufu bw’enkola ssatu ez’okugezesa diguli y’okuwonya ku bisiiga ebikwatagana ne puleesa ya silikoni. Okuggyamu ekizimbulukusa (ebirimu ggelu) kipima ekitundu ky’omukutu ekitasaanuuka nga kiyita mu kuggyamu Soxhlet — okubalirira okusukkiridde olw’ebitundu ebizingiddwa mu mubiri ebikyamuddwa nga ebiyungo ebisalasala, obutuufu ±2-5%, obutuufu bw’eddagala obusinga wansi. DSC egera ebbugumu ly’ensengekera erisigaddewo (α=1-ΔHresidual/ΔHtotal) — eryesigika ku kukyusa okutono okudda ku kwa wakati naye esukkiridde okubalirira ku kukyusa okw’amaanyi olw’ebibinja ebisigadde ebikoma mu kusaasaana, okuddiŋŋana <±2%.

Okukala ddaala ddene nnyo mu kukola emifaliso egy’ebbugumu erya waggulu erya PTFE. Ebikyamu ebitera okubeerawo mulimu: okwatika (okukala amangu ennyo, okufuuka olususu ku ngulu), okusenguka kw’okusiiga (obutundutundu butambula okutuuka ku ngulu, okukwatagana okw’omunda okunafu), ebituli/ebizimba (empewo oba omukka ogusibiddwa), amabala amazungu n’okufuukuuka (okusenguka kw’ebirungo ebikola ku ttaka oba okuyungibwa okutali kujjuvu), okufuuka emmyufu/okukoola (okubuguma ennyo kw’ebirungo ebigattibwako), okusenguka (okunyigirizibwa kw’okukendeera okusukka okunywerera), ebikuta by’emicungwa (okutega obubi), warpage (uneven shrinkage), kungulu nkalu naye munda mubisi (okusiba olususu kutega obunnyogovu), n’empenda enzito (coffee-ring effect). Ebigonjoola bizingiramu enkola z’okukala ezifugibwa, okuyingiza empewo entuufu, n’okusooka okulongoosa substrate.

PTFE olugoye olw’ebbugumu eringi lukozesebwa nnyo mu makolero g’eddagala olw’emirimu emikulu musanvu: flange gaskets ne pipe linings (guziyiza acids/alkali ez’amaanyi), reactor ne tank linings (guziyiza ekyuma okukulukuta, okwangu okuyonja), ensawo z’okusengejja omukka ogukulukuta (okutuuka ku 260°C), anti-corrosion expansion joints for ducts, anti-adhesion welding pads, olugoye olufulumya okubumba composite, n’okuzinga amasannyalaze/ebbugumu. Ebigezo bya FDA ne UL biriwo.

Ebirungo ebimaliriza kungulu ebisiigibwa ku lugoye lwa fiberglass nga tebannaba kusiiga PTFE bikulu nnyo mu kukola olugoye olw’ebbugumu eringi olwa PTFE olusembayo. Ebirungo ebiyunga organosilane bikola ebibanda bya molekyu wakati w’obuwuzi bw’endabirwamu obutali biramu ne PTFE ey’obutonde, okutumbula amaanyi g’ebikuta okuva ku <2 N/cm okutuuka ku 4-8+ N/cm. Okujjanjaba obulungi era kwongera ku bugumu (260°C+), okukola kwa dielectric, n’okuziyiza eddagala. Olugoye olutali lulongooseddwa luvaako okukutuka, okubumbulukuka, n’okuwangaala okumpi.
