I think you mean PTFE, OP.
If so, because fluorine is already part of the compound.

most acids will corrode metals and minerals but not polymers. acids are highly ionized and react to form neutral soluble salts with metals/minerals. the energy required to break the ionic or metallic bonds is much lower than the energy required to break a covalent carbon-carbon bond.
water can eat through metals/minerals, its just a matter of rate.

Don't change these.
