PTFE Vs. TFE
(OP)
What is the difference between PTFE vs that of TFE? I am trying to use CHEMGRIP TEFLON BONDING KIT. The literature states that it is for TFE and does not mention PTFE.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

TFE is the chemical name for tetrafluoroethylene, which is a colorless and taseless gas, extremely toxic and ultimately deadly.
Don't confuse the two, although the plastics industry has misused these terms over the years interchangably.
If you waant more information check out the SPI, FPD web site. It offers a booklet on the Safe Handling of PTFE which is very beneficial.

By the way, a better way to bond PTFE with other materials is etching with Sodium in ammonia.
