Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What length are these billets?
A: Each billet is 200mm long. Length tolerance is -1/+3mm.

Q: Can I request custom sizes?
A: No — this product is supplied in the standard sizes listed on this page.

Q: What are the temperature limits for glass filled PTFE?
A: Approximately -200°C to +260°C continuous, depending on load.

Q: What colour is glass filled PTFE?
A: Off-white to light cream, with a slightly matt, speckled surface from the glass fibres.

Q: How does glass filling affect the properties?
A: Glass filling (typically 25%) greatly improves creep resistance, wear resistance and dimensional stability, with slightly higher friction than virgin PTFE.

Q: Is this material suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes, glass filled PTFE is resistant to UV and weathering.
