1. Description:
Recognized as the first fluorocarbon material in the world and referred to as PTFE or TFE, Virgin PTFE Plastic Rod is the most chemically resistant plastic known. It has a working temperature range of minus 400°F to 500°F, excellent thermal and electrical insulation properties and a low coefficient of friction.
With a non-stick surface, very few materials will adhere to it and those that stick can easily be peeled or rubbed off. PTFE's mechanical properties are lower than other engineering plastics, but that can be improved by adding fillers such as glass fiber, carbon, graphite, molybdenum disulfide and bronze.
2. Features:
- High chemical resistance
- High temperature resistance
- Non-contaminating
- Maintenance free
- Long durability
- Self lubricating

Remarks:
We can also produce extruded teflon PTFE rod in other diameter and length according to customer's requirements.
4. Applications:
Virgin PTFE Teflon Rod Common applications include food processing, electrical parts, insulators, medical components, seals, bearings and high heat situations.
Note: Virgin grade rod is made from unreprocessed PTFE resin and costs more then the less expensive "mechanical grade" PTFE rod, which is made from reprocessed PTFE resin. Our factory offers both grades.
