No, it’s made out of PTFE which is what ePTFE is made out of. But Goretex has other layers. PTFE is absurdly safe and one of the more non reactive substances. It’s also got the lowest known coefficient of friction with most things. It’s also called Teflon, which has a bad reputation because of how it was made 30 years ago, which involved PFAs. But its process for production has been different for 15 or more years, and no longer uses PFAs by law. But a bad reputation once earned is hard to shake.
