Description

PTFE Virgin Rod (Polytetrafluoroethylene), commonly known by the brand name Teflon®, is a high-performance engineering plastic renowned for its exceptional chemical resistance, low friction, and non-stick properties. It operates effectively across a wide temperature range, from -200°C to +260°C, making it suitable for extreme environments. PTFE rods are highly resistant to most chemicals, UV radiation, and moisture, and they exhibit excellent electrical insulation properties. Due to its low coefficient of friction and non-reactive surface, PTFE is commonly used in seals, gaskets, bushings, bearings, electrical insulators, and chemical processing equipment. Its easy machinability allows for custom components in demanding industrial applications.

Spoke to someone named Kip or kit this morning she was very rude and blunt,
We have an urgent requirement for Teflon sheet and she scoffed at me when I said we needed it urgently, and just said we are too busy to do that.
Very unprofessional
When owners holland plastic read this comment just be aware our order would have been in excess of $20k
we were happy to pay extra in overtime rates or overnight freight.
I would hate to have this person completing sales for my company especially when we have quite a large order needing sorted

Thank you for you terrible service we shall order from an interstate company from now on 👎🏻

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the common applications of PTFE Rods?

Seals and gaskets for chemical processing equipment
Bushings and bearings to reduce friction in mechanical systems
Insulators in electrical and electronic components
Valve seats and pump components in corrosive environments
Laboratory equipment resistant to harsh chemicals
Food-grade applications due to its non-stick, non-toxic properties

Are PTFE Rod resistant to wear and abrasion?

Moderately resistant to wear: Suitable for low-load, high-sliding applications
Less abrasion-resistant compared to materials like Nylon or UHMWPE
For high-wear applications, filled PTFE composites (with glass, carbon, or bronze) are recommended to improve wear resistance

Are PTFE Rod easy to machine and fabricate?

Yes, PTFE Rods are highly machinable:

Can be cut, turned, milled, and drilled with standard machining tools
Soft material: Requires sharp tools to prevent deformation during machining
Precision fabrication: Suitable for custom parts with tight tolerances

Can PTFE Rods be used both indoors and outdoors?

Yes, PTFE Rods are suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications:

UV resistant: Does not degrade under prolonged sun exposure
Weather-resistant: Maintains properties in harsh outdoor environments
Moisture-proof: Hydrophobic, making it ideal for wet conditions

Are PTFE Rod eco-friendly and recyclable?

PTFE is recyclable, but recycling facilities for PTFE are limited due to its high chemical stability. However, it is:

Environmentally stable: Does not degrade or release harmful substances over time
Reusable: Can be re-machined or repurposed in many applications

Are PTFE Rod food-safe?

Yes, PTFE is FDA-approved for food contact applications:

Non-toxic, non-reactive, and resistant to contamination
Used in food processing equipment, seals, and non-stick surfaces

What are the key properties of PTFE Rods?

PTFE Rods are known for their unique combination of properties:

Extreme chemical resistance: Inert to most acids, bases, and solvents
Wide temperature range: Operates from -200°C to +260°C
Low coefficient of friction: Excellent for reducing wear and energy loss
Non-stick surface: Resists adhesion of most substances
Excellent electrical insulation: High dielectric strength for electrical applications
Non-toxic and food-safe: Suitable for food processing equipment

What sizes and diameters are available for PTFE Rods?

PTFE Rods are available in a wide range of diameters and lengths:

Standard diameters: From 3mm to 300mm (custom sizes available)
Lengths: Typically available in 1-meter or 2-meter lengths, with custom cuts available

How does PTFE compare to other plastics like Nylon or UHMWPE?

Chemical resistance: PTFE is superior to both Nylon and UHMWPE
Temperature tolerance: PTFE withstands higher temperatures
Friction: PTFE has a lower coefficient of friction
Mechanical strength: PTFE is softer and less impact-resistant than Nylon or UHMWPE, making it less suitable for load-bearing applications without reinforcement
