• When using PTFE-coated magnetic bars, the
following has to be noted: Chemical reactions of
PTFE occur in contact with molten or solute alkali
metals and alkaline earth metals, as well as with
fine powders of metals in groups 2 and 3 of the
periodic system at temperatures above 300 °C –
400 °C. Only elementary fluorine, chlorotrifluoride
and alkali metals attack it; halogenated
hydrocarbons have a reversible swelling effect.
