110mm Natural PTFE Rod for Chemical and Thermal Resistant Components

Natural PTFE Plastic Rod 110mm Diameter

The 110mm Natural PTFE Rod is a specialist engineering plastic developed for components that require reliable performance under intense thermal, chemical and electrical conditions. Its naturally non-stick surface and exceptionally low friction make it suitable for equipment where smooth contact and controlled movement are essential.

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) maintains its characteristics across a broad temperature range, from -260°C to +260°C, with brief exposure up to +300°C. It also offers excellent resistance to acids, chemical attack, UV exposure and corrosion. Its low moisture uptake and high electrical resistivity further extend its usefulness across industrial applications.
