PTFE rod has excellent resistance to most chemicals and solvents and is capable of operating at high and low temperatures - up to 260°C. The PTFE rods also have a very low coefficient of friction and are commonly used in food contact applications. Rods of PTFE provides good thermal stability and has good electrical properties, but are not suitable for wear application and is difficult to bond.
We offer a wide dimension range of high quality extruded & molded PTFE rods, the high quality PTFE rods are usually used for machining components.
Utilizing our specialized compression molding technique, our molded tubes are available in virgin PTFE, modified PTFE and PTFE compound material.
