Click here to buy PTFE Rod. PTFE Rod is an excellent engineering plastic with many high quality properties that combine to make this material probably one of the most versitile products and also one of the most important plastics discoveries of all.

Typical usage of PTFE Rod:
PTFE Rod does have an almost limitless amount of applications but because of its very low coefficient of friction, it is very often specified for low friction bearings which also gives a very easy running and smooth bearing operation. Along with bearings, PTFE Rod is also very useful as seals within valves due to its ability to conform to shape inside components and provide an excellent, high temperature and acid resistant seal. PTFE Rod is also an excellent product for use within the chemical industry due to its excellent ability with strong acids and chemicals as well as fuels or other petrochemical based fluids. Further uses for PTFE Rod are with components requiring a material or component needing high temperature resistance and performance due to its amazing ability to resist and operate at temperatues at around 250°C on a constant basis. PTFE Rod is also important within the cryogenic industry, this is due to its excellent low temperature performance and PTFE can also opperate at temperatures around -250°C. PTFE Rod is useful to the food processing industry due to its FDA approval and its capability with direct food contact.
