Testing showed that this solid was a very remarkable material. It was a resin that resisted practically every known chemical or solvent; its surface was so slippery that almost no substance would stick to it; moisture did not cause it to swell, and it did not degrade or become brittle after long term exposure to sunlight. It had a melting point of 327°C and, as opposed to conventional thermoplastics; it would not flow above that melting point. This meant that new processing techniques had to be developed to suit the characteristics of the new resin
