Trying to figure out if I can cut this with my CO2 60w? Wondering if it melts the edges bad or if it is a clean cut?

Thank you for your time!

It is a PTFE (teflon) material so I doubt that you would want to put it in your machine.

Composition of by-products from the result of a fire or thermal decomposition will vary depending on the specific conditions. Hazardous gases/vapors possibly evolved include smoke, hydrogen fluoride, carbonyl
fluoride, perfluorocarbon olefins and carbon monoxide. There may be others unknown to us.




Not good, it turns into Hydrofluoric Acid when mixing with fluid in the lungs.

Can it be cut , yes, can it be cut safely........that's a whole different ballgame.

cheers
