These rods and discs are made of PTFE, a material that surpasses most plastics when it comes to chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures. In addition to resisting most solvents, they are an excellent electrical insulator. They are easy to machine and have a naturally slippery surface that makes them a good choice for bearings, gears, and parts that slide and roll.

Chemical-Resistant Slippery PTFE U-Channels
- Color: White
- Temperature Range: -350° to 500° F
- Tensile Strength: 2,170-2,800 psi (Poor)
- Impact Strength: 3.5 ft.-lbs./in. (Good)
- Hardness: Durometer 52D-55D (Medium Soft)
- For Use Outdoors: Yes
- Specifications Met: FDA Compliant 21 CFR 177.1550, SAE AMS3671, ASTM D1710, UL 94 V-0
With a naturally slippery surface, these PTFE U-channels are useful in fabrications that require sliding action, such as frames for panel doors. They surpass most plastics when it comes to chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures. They’re also excellent electrical insulators and easy to machine.
