Good quality Use Of PTFE - PTFE Polymer Rod,1/4" Dia – SuKo

The PTFE rod has an opaque off-white color and meets Underwriters Laboratories UL 94V0 specifications. PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) resists most chemicals, typically withstands high temperatures, and has a low-friction surface that does not bond readily with other materials, giving it a nonstick characteristic. This material shares many of the same properties as other fluoropolymers but generally withstands higher temperatures than FEP and ETFE.

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a high molecular weight polymer, one of the most versatile plastic materials known and can be used for applications where other materials can’t be used.

The most outstanding characteristics are:

• * high heat resistance
• * high resistance to chemical agents and solvents
• * high anti adhesiveness
• * high dielectric properties
• * low friction coefficient
• * non-toxicity

PTFE is generally considered a thermoplastic polymer; at 327°C it maintains a very high viscosity, thus requiring particular transformation techniques for manufacturing of finished and semi-finished goods.

PTFE can be used at any temperature from -200°C to +260°C.
