Known for their naturally slippery surface, these PTFE tubes are often made into bearings, rollers, and parts that slide and roll. They have exceptional resistance to chemicals and perform better than other plastic tubes in extreme temperatures. These easy-to-machine tubes are also excellent electrical insulators. The OD is oversized and the ID is undersized for finishing to the sizes listed.

Chemical-Resistant Slippery PTFE Rods and Discs

Color: White
Temperature Range: See table
Tensile Strength: See table (Poor)
Impact Strength: 3.5 ft.-lbs./in. (Good)
Hardness: See table (Medium Soft)
For Use Outdoors: Yes
Specifications Met: See table

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.
