PTFE Piercing Jewelry on BioFlex
BioFlex PTFE - material of the future with the unique physical and chemical properties. Today, many branches of science, technology and medicine is unthinkable without PTFE. And, of course, curious female mind and fantasy have figured out how to use the achievements of modern technologies for the benefit of its beauty.
The scientific name of this modern Eighth wonder of the world PTFE (Teflon, fluoroplastic-4) (-C2F4-) n – polymer of tetrafluoroethylene.
Like all great discoveries, this material was synthesized by chance. PTFE was discovered in April 1938, 27-year-old scientist-chemist Roy Plunkett, who accidentally discovered that pumped them into cylinders under pressure gaseous tetrafluoroethylene spontaneously cured in parafinopodobny white powder. Patent for the invention of Teflon owned U.S. company DuPont.
What is unique about this material? First of all, in its flexibility, which he keeps in a record low (up to -70 degrees) and a record high (up to 270 degrees) temperatures. PTFE has a low adhesion and is not wetted by either water or fat, or a majority of organic solvents. What does this mean? This material is not “glued” and does not stick, keeping their “slippery” nature in all circumstances.
By its chemical resistance than all the known synthetic materials and precious metals. Not destroyed under the influence of alkalis, acids, and even a mixture of nitric and hydrochloric acids. This means that the material remains neutral to the food and all the substances released by the human body. Housekeeping tip: PTFE afraid of chlorine compounds.
It is difficult to find an area where there used to PTFE. Doctors thoroughly investigated this material, and noted its high biocompatibility with the human body, which, combined with extraordinary flexibility and durability of this material, making it indispensable for the purposes of transplantation. In bioengineering PTFE is used even for in vitro cultivation of human tissues.
So, BioFlex PTFE does not injure the body, does not cause irritation and rejection, is neutral to the chemicals that does not lose its properties over a wide temperature range – which means it cannot remove any of the sauna or in the Arabian desert, and polar expeditions. You do not even feel discomfort. Moreover, resistance to high temperatures enables the use of autoclaving for sterilizing products of PTFE. His resistance to various chemicals gives you complete freedom: you can swim in these decorations at least in the Dead Sea, sunbathing, solarium (for UV resistant PTFE, too), to engage in mud therapy, doing cosmetic procedures – anything with PTFE will not happen. His friendliness and plasticity makes it possible to wear jewelry made from PTFE pregnant women.
Well, what about the aesthetic side? First of all, PTFE can be virtually transparent. This makes it possible to wear a “secret” piercing. And no one even notices that you have, for example, pierced nose or lip. Imagine that you are – a solid man … day at the office and in his spare time – free people from their informal tastes.
Also, you can wear this material is completely rimless. Nothing will prevent admire his shining faces. Moreover, PTFE wonderfully painted. Including pigments, operate only in the ultraviolet (eg, in a nightclub) or illuminated in the dark.
Easy to use, the plasticity of the material makes the opportunity to make their own individual decoration.
