RS PRO Opaque Fluoroplastics PTFE Rod, 500 mm x 38 mm Diameter
Use this PTFE (polytetrafluorethylene) rod from RS PRO to make high-quality parts and components. Its 500 mm length and good machining properties make it a versatile choice, as you can modify its shape and size according to your needs.
Thanks to its excellent dielectric performance, the PTFE material is ideal for applications that are electromagnetically sensitive. It also has a high level of chemical and radiation resistance, as well as a UL (Underwriters' Laboratories) 94 V-0 fire safety certification. This means it will only burn for 30 seconds, making it a safe and durable choice for use in harsh environments.
As the rod produces minimal friction and adhesion, it allows for smooth motion while also minimising heat and noise. You'll commonly find it used for gaskets, gears and bearings in industrial manufacturing and food processing applications.
