PTFE Rod Glass Filled 60mm to 150mm Diameter Options

Glass filled PTFE rod offers exceptional strength and durability.

This high-performance material combines the low friction properties of PTFE with the added strength of glass fibres, making it ideal for demanding applications. Available in diameters from 60mm to 150mm and lengths of 250mm or 1000mm, it is suitable for a range of industrial uses.

Key Features

• High Strength: Glass fibres enhance the mechanical strength and creep resistance of PTFE.
• Low Friction: Ideal for applications requiring minimal friction and wear.
• Temperature Resistance: Suitable for use from approximately -200°C to +260°C.
• Chemical Resistance: Resistant to a wide range of chemicals and solvents.
• Standard Lengths: Available in 250mm and 1000mm lengths as listed.

Applications

• Sealing Components: Used in seals, gaskets and valve seats where durability is crucial.
• Bearings: Suitable for low-friction bearing and thrust washer applications.
• Insulation: Effective in electrical insulation applications due to its dielectric properties.
• Wear Parts: Commonly used for wear rings, guide rings and slide pads in machinery.
