Think these are pure PTFE? the listing indicates they are.
Thinking of using these for lids on mason jars, maybe also for some gasket material.

I use them for grilling veggies on the grill. They are too thin for a sealing gasket and are made by woven thread so would be too porous on a mason jar. IMO.

I'm thinking using them under the normal mason jar lid (reversed), with the ring loosely on, to promote some air exchange.

Condensation will form on the steel and back to your product. I just letting you know for your information.

They are teflon coated eGlass.

I think they'd stand up to any jar sealing application in the short term, but being a spray-on product (like a fry pan), they won't last forever.
