What is PTFE plastic used for?

Along with its high melting temperature, PTFE has excellent dielectric properties, making it ideal for the insulation of wiring in aerospace and computer applications. Its frictionless properties also make it a popular choice for hoses and pipes to help improve the flow of highly viscous liquids. Teflon is best known for as the non-stick coating in cookware like pots and pans.
