XIFLON PFA RODS is a semi-finished product manufactured from high-performance perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) resin, sourced from carefully selected and trusted suppliers including XIFLON fluoropolymer resin. Designed for the most demanding industries, our PFA Extruded Rods combine:
Withstand aggressive chemicals, solvents, and prolonged UV exposure
Continuous service temperature: −200 °C to +260 °C without degradation
Superior insulation with high dielectric strength and low dissipation factor
Excellent tensile strength, smooth finish, and non-stick surface
Our PFA Extruded Rods are manufactured using precision extrusion technology. In this process, prime grade PFA resin is melted and extruded into solid rods under tightly controlled temperature and pressure conditions. This ensures:
Consistent dimensional stability across all product range
Ultra-smooth, defect-free finish free from inclusions or metal particles
No degradation of polymer structure, preserving chemical and thermal resistance
Each batch is tested to ASTM standards to ensure reproducibility and reliability

Download GuidePFA extruded rods are cylindrical semi-finished products made from perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) resin, a melt-processable fluoropolymer in the PTFE family. Unlike PTFE rods (which must be molded or ram extruded), PFA rods are manufactured by melt extrusion, producing continuous, high-quality stock.
Manufacturing process:
Key advantages of PFA extruded rods:
Best choice when: You need PTFE-like durability with easier fabrication and machining flexibility.
PFA extruded rods are manufactured in a wide range of sizes for precision machining and industrial use.
Diameter range:
Length range:
Surface finishes:
Whether you need micro-diameter precision stock or large billets, PFA rods are available in flexible size ranges.
PFA extruded rods are chosen in industries where high purity, extreme chemical resistance, and thermal stability are mandatory.
Key industries & applications:
If purity, resistance, and durability are critical, PFA rods are the go-to fluoropolymer stock.
While all three are fluoropolymers, their processing, temperature resistance, and applications differ.
