PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) rods are versatile rods with many applications, including in chemical, food, and offshore industries. They are also known as Teflon rods. PTFE rods are known for their:

  • Chemical resistance

    PTFE rods are resistant to most chemicals and solvents, except for alkali metals.

  • Low friction

    PTFE rods have one of the lowest coefficients of friction of all known solids.

  • High-temperature tolerance

    PTFE rods can withstand temperatures from -200°C to 260°C.

  • Electrical insulation

    PTFE rods have a high dielectric strength, low dielectric constant, and high electrical resistance. 

Some other properties of PTFE rods include: Thermal stability, Good sealing properties, Not flammable unless in a 94% oxygen environment, Resistant to stress cracking and weathering, and Easy to machine. 

PTFE rods are commonly used in bearings, valve seats, seal rings, and other demanding environments where friction reduction, corrosion resistance, and durability are critical. They can also be machined into custom parts and components.
