PVDF TUBES FAQ

What are PTFE rods, and what makes them unique?

PTFE rods (Polytetrafluoroethylene rods, also known as Teflon® rods) are semi-finished fluoropolymer products known for their outstanding chemical resistance, low friction, and wide temperature range.

Unique properties of PTFE rods:

  • Continuous service temperature: -200 °C to +260 °C
  • Inert to almost all industrial chemicals
  • Lowest coefficient of friction among plastics → self-lubricating
  • Excellent dielectric insulation
  • Non-stick & non-wetting surface
  • FDA-compliant grades available for food and pharmaceutical use

 In short: PTFE rods are the go-to choice for seals, insulators, and non-stick components in extreme environments.

PTFE rods are made using compression molding or ram extrusion, since PTFE is not melt-processable like FEP or PFA.

Manufacturing methods:

  • Compression molded rods → available in larger diameters, higher density, used for heavy-duty machining
  • Ram extruded rods → long continuous lengths, excellent dimensional consistency, cost-effective

Formats available:

  • Virgin PTFE rods → pure, unfilled, highest chemical resistance
  • Filled PTFE rods → modified with glass, carbon, bronze, or graphite fillers to enhance wear, stiffness, or conductivity

 The choice of manufacturing method depends on diameter, length, and end-use requirements.

PTFE rods are available in a wide range of diameters and lengths.

Ram-extruded PTFE rods:

  • Diameters: 5 mm – 200 mm
  • Lengths: 1000 mm and 2000 mm standard

Molded PTFE rods:

  • Diameters: 150 mm – 500 mm+
  • Lengths: up to 300 mm (due to molding limitations)

Custom options:

  • Cut-to-length service for precise machining stock
  • Etched PTFE rods for bonding to adhesives
  • Filled PTFE rods for enhanced wear, load-bearing, or conductivity

 From micro-diameter insulation rods to heavy billets for machining, PTFE rods cover the full spectrum.

PTFE rods are used wherever chemical resistance, insulation, and non-stick properties are required.

Industries & applications:

  • Chemical processing → seals, valve seats, gaskets, pump parts
  • Electronics & semiconductors → insulators, bushings, dielectric components
  • Food & pharmaceuticals → FDA-approved bushings, spacers, non-stick surfaces
  • Aerospace & automotive → lightweight seals, wear-resistant parts, fuel system components
  • Industrial machinery → sliding bearings, guides, anti-friction parts

 PTFE rods are valued across industries as reliable stock for precision machining into durable components.

PTFE vs. PFA rods:

  • Both resist up to 260 °C
  • PTFE → non-melt-processable, softer, less stress-crack resistant
  • PFA → melt-processable, weldable, higher mechanical endurance

PTFE vs. FEP rods:

  • FEP → melt-processable, transparent, service up to 200 °C
  • PTFE → opaque, higher temperature resistance, better creep resistance

PTFE vs. PEEK rods:

  • PEEK → much stronger, stiffer, excellent wear resistance (up to 250 °C)
  • PTFE → softer, better chemical resistance and non-stick surface

 Summary guide:

  • Choose PTFE rods → for maximum chemical resistance & non-stick applications
  • Choose PFA rods → for high-purity and weldable parts
  • Choose FEP rods → for clarity & flexibility under moderate heat
  • Choose PEEK rods → for load-bearing & wear resistance

PTFE rods are one of the best all-round performers among engineering plastics.

Temperature resistance:

  • Continuous service up to 260 °C
  • Cryogenic use down to -200 °C
  • Retains properties over wide thermal cycles

Wear & mechanical strength:

  • Very low friction (self-lubricating)
  • Moderate wear resistance (improved with fillers like glass or carbon)
  • High creep under load (can deform if clamped too tightly)

Chemical resistance:

  • Inert to almost all chemicals, acids, bases, and solvents
  • Resistant to hydrolysis, UV, and weathering
  • Not resistant to molten alkali metals or elemental fluorine

 PTFE rods excel in heat and chemicals, but for load-bearing parts, filled grades are often recommended.

Yes — PTFE rods are one of the most common plastics used as machining stock.

Machining properties:

  • Easily machined with standard tools
  • Produces smooth finishes
  • Requires care due to softness and creep (avoid overtight clamping)

Fabrication options:

  • Etching → surface treatment for bonding with adhesives
  • Filled PTFE rods → stronger, stiffer, better wear resistance
  • Cut-to-size → custom rods supplied for specific applications

Common machined parts:

  • Seals and gaskets
  • Bushings and spacers
  • Electrical insulators
  • Valve seats and pump components

 PTFE rods are among the easiest engineering plastics to machine into high-performance sealing and insulating components.
