PTFE, often called Teflon in everyday project language, is valued for its very low friction and excellent chemical resistance. It is often the right answer when a part interacts with fluids, sealing systems, or environments that would quickly challenge many other plastics.
The tradeoff is that PTFE is softer and less structurally rigid than engineering plastics like POM, nylon, or PEEK. That means the geometry must be designed for the real service condition rather than assuming every plastic behaves the same way under load.

Quoted with material review
Yes. PTFE is one of the most practical choices when low friction and chemical resistance are the main goals, especially for seals, valve parts, and insulators.
Choose PTFE when the environment or low-friction requirement is more important than structural stiffness. POM or nylon may be better for parts that need stronger dimensional rigidity under load.
PTFE is widely valued for chemical resistance and stable performance across demanding environments, which is why it is frequently used in fluid handling and insulation applications.
