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 temperatures at around plus 250C 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 operate at temperatures around -250C.

PTFE Rod is useful to the food processing industry due to its approval and its capability with direct food contact.

Product Packing

Package for large quantity of PTFE Semi-finished products

Wooden case packaging is provided for large quantities to guarantee the safety and structural integrity of the goods during transportation.

Product Application

PTFE components are widely used in chemical containers and parts in contact with corrosive media, such as tanks, reactors, equipment lining, valves, pumps, fittings, filter materials, separation materials, and piping for corrosive fluids.
PTFE can be used as a self-lubricating bearing, piston rings, seal rings, gaskets, valve seats, sliders, rails, and similar mechanical elements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the working temperature range of PTFE rods?

PTFE rods have a broad working temperature range from -180°C (-292°F) to 260°C (500°F). They maintain flexibility at low temperatures and offer outstanding thermal stability at high temperatures.

Are PTFE rods chemically resistant?

Yes, PTFE offers excellent chemical corrosion resistance. It is virtually insoluble in strong acids, strong alkalis, and organic solvents, making it ideal for corrosive environments.

What are the primary differences between molded and extruded PTFE rods?

PTFE Molded Rods are typically available in diameters ranging from 6 mm to 600 mm and lengths from 100 mm to 300 mm. PTFE Extruded Rods are supplied in standard longer lengths (up to 1000 mm and 2000 mm) for diameters up to 160 mm.

Can PTFE rods be used in food contact applications?

Yes, PTFE is biologically inert and approved for direct food contact, which makes it highly suitable for applications within the food processing industry.

Why is PTFE considered a good self-lubricating material?

PTFE possesses the lowest dynamic coefficient of friction among solid materials. This high lubrication performance makes it perfect for slide components, bearings, and seal rings.

How are large orders of PTFE rods packaged for shipping?

For large quantities of PTFE semi-finished products, wooden case packaging is used to ensure maximum safety and prevent damage during transit.
