Teflon PTFE PTFE PTFE TEFLON round rod

Teflon PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) round rods are highly versatile and durable materials known for their exceptional properties. These rods are widely used across various industries due to their ability to withstand extreme conditions while maintaining high performance.

Key Properties

Wide Temperature Range: PTFE round rods can operate continuously between -200°C and +260°C, making them suitable for both cryogenic and high-temperature applications.
Low Friction: PTFE has one of the lowest coefficients of friction of any solid material, which reduces wear and tear and enhances the efficiency of moving parts.
Chemical Resistance: PTFE is highly resistant to virtually all chemicals, including acids, bases, and solvents, making it ideal for use in harsh chemical environments.
Electrical Insulation: PTFE rods offer excellent dielectric properties, making them suitable for electrical and electronic applications where insulation is critical.
Non-Stick and Non-Toxic: PTFE’s non-stick properties make it ideal for applications requiring easy release. It is also non-toxic, making it safe for food and pharmaceutical applications.

Applications

Chemical Processing: PTFE rods are used for tank linings, valve seats, and gaskets due to their chemical resistance.
Electrical and Electronics: PTFE rods are used to manufacture insulating sleeves, spacers, and terminal blocks, providing reliable electrical insulation.
Food and Pharmaceutical: Food-grade PTFE rods are used in equipment that comes into contact with consumables, ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
Automotive and Aerospace: PTFE rods are used in bushings, seals, and guide rings that require low friction and durability.
CNC Machining and 3D Printing: PTFE rods can be easily machined into custom parts using CNC machines or additive manufacturing techniques.

Specifications

Diameter Range: Available in diameters from 3mm to 100mm.
Length: Standard lengths are 900mm or 1000mm, but custom lengths can be produced based on customer requirements.
