Causes of Kyphosis. Kyphosis can occur in people of all ages, but is most common in older patients who suffer from osteoporosis. The condition results from compression of the vertebrae in the spine. Another form of Kyphosis, called postural kyphosis occurs when a person exhibits excessive slouching habits.
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is an engineered fluoropolymer. Oustanding resistance to chemicals is one of its primary attributes. A broad temperature range of -100Â°F to 500Â°F (-73Â°C to 260Â°C) make this hose material suitable for the majority of fluid and ambient temperature conditions found in industry.
Within 10 years, PTFE had hit the commercial market under the brand name Teflon. Of course, Teflon is best known for its non-stick properties. It is not just for cooking, though. PTFE is also used in industrial coating applications for products such as aerospace, automobiles and electronics. In one of its most high tech applications, PTFE is used in the construction of igniters for rocket propellants. PTFE is also used to coat certain types of bullets.
