PTFE Rod

Publisher:Hansa seal Pubtime:2022-06-16 16:56:00 Close
Features:
There are three kinds of PTFE rods to offer. One is manufactured by paste extruding method in the diameter from 2 to 4mm and the other is made by ram extruding method in the diameter from 5 to 200mm;rods
over the diameter 55 to 300mm are manufactured by moulding.
PTFE is the most chemical resistant and the best dielectric of all known plastics .lIt is not aging and binding.It can be used from-180 ℃~260 ℃ under on burthen circumstances.PTFE has the lowest coefficient of friction of all known solid materials.

Applications:
Electrical insulation,seal,antisticking materials.

Product Overview
PTFE rods are solid cylindrical materials produced through compression molding and sintering processes, retaining the excellent chemical inertness, temperature resistance, and electrical insulation of PTFE resin. They are ideal raw materials for manufacturing corrosion-resistant seals, bearings, and insulating components.
