Common Uses for PTFE Rod:
Because of the very low co-efficient of friction, PTFE Rod is used for bearings that are needed to be very easy and free running. Another area that PTFE Rod has become very popular is where extreme temperatures are involved which include not only bearings, handles and bushes in ovens and other high temperature environments but also cryogenic vessels, refrigeration and products connected with the extreme low temperature applications. Because of its high electrical insulation properties, PTFE Rod is used within industries such as induction heating where high levels of insulation are imperative but also the temperature resistance play an important property combination note. Because PTFE Rod has the ability to "flow" or conform to shape, it is often used as seals in high quality valves which outperform most other plastics. Further applications include strong acid and chemical products and also pharmaceutical and medical industries due to PTFE Rod's ability with acid resistance and also its low moisture absorption.
