PTFE Extruded Rod Product Introduction

PTFE extruded rod is a high-performance plastic rod made from pure polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) as the raw material, formed through a ram extrusion process. As a premium category within PTFE products, it leverages a unique continuous extrusion manufacturing process that retains PTFE's excellent chemical stability while offering superior mechanical properties and dimensional accuracy, making it an ideal choice for demanding industrial environments.

· Outstanding Mechanical Properties: Tensile strength reaches 35 MPa, elongation at break exceeds 500%.

· Ultra-Long Continuous Forming: Supports unlimited length coil supply (maximum diameter 300mm).

· Zero Surface Defects: Inner wall smoothness Ra < 0.4 μm, meeting medical-grade requirements.

· Higher Cost-Effectiveness: Material utilization increased by 30%, production costs reduced by 25%.

Key Performance Parameters

· Temperature Range: -200℃ ~ +260℃ (short-term 300℃)

· Dielectric Strength: 45 kV/mm (1mm thickness)

· Friction Coefficient: 0.05-0.08 (water-lubricated conditions)

· Coefficient of Linear Expansion: 9.5×10⁻⁵/℃ (20-100℃)

Typical Application Fields

· Chemical Corrosion Protection: Reactor linings, pipeline compensators.

· Cable Manufacturing: Insulation layer for high-frequency communication cables.

· Medical Devices: Minimally invasive surgical catheters, artificial blood vessels.

· Semiconductor: Ultra-pure chemical delivery pipelines.

· Food Industry: Lining for dairy processing pipelines.

Special Customization Capabilities

· Functional Modification: Special types available (conductive/anti-static/reinforced).

· Color Variety: Standard white, optional black, gray, blue, etc., for identification.

· Comprehensive Certifications: Passed FDA, NSF, RoHS, and other international certifications.

Technical Service Support

· Provision of ANSYS mechanical simulation reports.

· Free sample cutting service (≤ 1 meter).

· On-site installation guidance (e.g., flange sealing solutions).

· Failure analysis and improvement suggestions.

This product has been successfully applied in:

· 98% sulfuric acid transfer system in a chemical group (5 years of continuous use without corrosion).

· High-frequency coaxial cables for 5G base stations (dielectric loss < 0.0003).

· DSA interventional therapy catheters in a tertiary hospital (passed ISO 10993 testing).

Note: Medical-grade products require raw materials from dedicated clean production lines. Conventional industrial grade is not recommended for direct human contact scenarios. Accelerated aging tests are recommended for validation under extreme conditions.
