SW Materials:Teflon

[macduff]

Is there a Teflon material in the SW database? I can't seem to find it.

I even looked in ctopher's database I download.

Thanks,

PTFE is included in the standard SW Material Database.

I'll use that if the material density's are close. I'm going to chack matweb.

Thanks guys,

PTFE = Teflon

for all intents and purposes.

Unless you're talking about some specific grade.
