Natural PTFE Round Rods – Chemically Resistant and Low-Friction
Are you looking for a plastic round bar that can effortlessly withstand extreme temperatures, corrosive chemicals and friction?
Our PTFE round rods in a natural finish (also known as Teflon® rods (as mentioned) are the perfect solution for demanding industrial applications.
PTFE is known for its excellent chemical resistance, low coefficient of friction and temperature resistance up to +260°C.
The material is self-extinguishing, hydrophobic and virtually non-adhesive, enabling it to perform exceptionally well in critical environments such as laboratories, chemical plants,
food processing and mechanical engineering.
