Teflon PTFE Rods

Description

A Teflon PTFE rod is a rod made from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a fluoropolymer that’s also known by the brand name Teflon:

PTFE rods have many unique properties, including:

• Chemical resistance: PTFE is highly resistant to chemical agents and solvents.
• Thermal stability: PTFE has a high melting point and is stable at temperatures up to 500ºF. 
• Electrical resistance: PTFE has excellent electrical insulating properties. 
• Non-stick: PTFE has a non-stick surface.
• Low friction: PTFE has a low coefficient of friction.

PTFE rods are used in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications, including as machining stock for chemical, electrical, and mechanical components.

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), also known as Teflon, has many properties that make it useful for a variety of applications, including:

• Chemical resistance

PTFE is almost completely chemically inert and resistant to most solvents and chemicals. This makes it ideal for use in the pharmaceutical industry.

• Thermal stability

PTFE is thermally stable and can be used in temperatures ranging from -200°C to +260°C without degrading.

• Low friction

PTFE has a low coefficient of friction, making it ideal for applications that require self-lubrication.

• Electrical insulation

PTFE has excellent electrical insulating properties, making it ideal for use in semiconductor manufacturing.

• UV resistance

PTFE has high UV resistance, so it doesn’t deteriorate easily in external applications.

• Wear and weathering resistance

PTFE is resistant to wear and weathering, so it can maintain high performance over time in harsh environments.

• Flame resistance

PTFE is flame resistant.

• FDA approved

PTFE is FDA approved
