120mm Natural PTFE Plastic Rod for Temperature Resistant Components

Natural PTFE Plastic Rod 120mm Diameter

The 120mm Natural PTFE Plastic Rod is a specialist thermoplastic stock material suited to engineering projects involving aggressive chemicals, temperature extremes and demanding electrical requirements. Manufactured from Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), it offers a naturally smooth surface that helps reduce drag and friction in components exposed to repeated movement.

Its excellent thermal stability allows operation between -260°C and +260°C, with brief exposure up to +300°C. The material also provides strong resistance to acids, corrosion, UV radiation and moisture absorption. Combined with its high electrical resistivity, these properties make PTFE a versatile choice for specialised industrial equipment and mechanical assemblies.
