Teflon Virgin Natural Round Rod Description
PTFE (PolyTetraFluoroEthylene) is a fluorocarbon-based polymer known for its outstanding chemical resistance, high purity, and low friction properties. PTFE rods are self-lubricating and have an ultra-low friction coefficient, making them ideal for high-temperature seals, insulators, and bearings. With its wide operational temperature range from -100°F to +400°F (-73°C to 204°C), PTFE is perfect for use in demanding environments. PTFE rods also offer excellent thermal and electrical insulation and are extremely dense, which prevents them from being processed by melting.
