PTFE material chemical inertness, insulation PTFE rod PTFE bar
PTFE rod is an unfilled PTFE resin suitable for processing various gaskets, seals and lubricating materials working in corrosive media, as well as electrically insulating parts used at various frequencies. (Can contain recycled polytetrafluoroethylene resin) Rod formed by molding, paste extrusion or plunger extrusion process.
The characteristics and advantages of PTFE rod
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) rods have many advantages that make them a high-performance material for a wide range of applications. Here are the main advantages of PTFE rods:
Excellent Chemical Resistance: PTFE rod is a very inert material that barely reacts with most chemicals. It has excellent acid, alkali, solvent and corrosion resistance, and can maintain stability in harsh chemical environments.
High Temperature Stability: PTFE rods are able to withstand a wide range of temperatures, from -200°C to +260°C, and maintain the stability of their physical and chemical properties. This makes it excellent in high-temperature applications and capable of operating in a wide range of extreme temperature conditions.
Excellent electrical insulation properties: PTFE rods have excellent electrical insulation properties, making them an ideal material in electronic and electrical applications. It has low dielectric constant and low dielectric loss, which can effectively isolate current and prevent electron leakage.
Low coefficient of friction: PTFE rods have an extremely low coefficient of friction, making them ideal self-lubricating materials. It reduces wear on mechanical components, reduces friction losses, and provides smooth motion performance.
Good flame retardant properties: PTFE rods have good flame retardant properties and will not burn or produce toxic gases even at high temperatures. This makes it widely used in some applications with high safety requirements.
Ease of processing: PTFE rods have good processing properties and can be processed by cutting, turning, drilling, milling, etc. It can be made into parts of various shapes and sizes to meet the needs of different applications.
Application of PTFE rod:
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) rods are widely used in many fields due to their special properties. The following are common application areas of PTFE rods:
Bearings and sliding parts: Due to its low friction coefficient and self-lubricating properties, PTFE rods are widely used in bearings, sliding bearings, sliding parts and other fields to reduce friction and wear.
Electrical insulation parts: PTFE rods have excellent electrical insulation properties and are widely used in electronic and electrical applications, such as cable insulation, insulating gaskets, electronic components, etc.
Chemical stirring rod: The corrosion resistance of polytetrafluoroethylene rods makes it a commonly used stirring rod material in chemical laboratories, used to stir chemical reagents such as acids and alkalis.
Medical devices: PTFE rods have biocompatibility and antibacterial properties and are often used to make medical devices, such as catheters, valves, artificial joints, etc.
Liquid handling: PTFE rods have extremely low surface tension, making them widely used in liquid handling fields, such as sprayers, liquid level gauges, etc.
