PTFE is modified with a filler material to create these impact-resistant rods. They have a super-slippery surface that resist wear, as well as excellent resistance to chemicals and extreme temperatures. These easy-to-machine rods are nonabsorbent, so they won’t swell when exposed to water. They’re also good electrical insulators.
Grade LR is often used for sleeve, flange, and linear bearings.

Wear-, Impact-, and Chemical-Resistant PTFE Sheets
These sheets are manufactured from Rulon PTFE, a PTFE that’s been modified with a filler material. In addition to having the superior chemical and temperature resistance of PTFE, they have excellent impact resistance and a super-slippery surface that resists wear. These easy-to-machine sheets are nonabsorbent, so they won’t swell when exposed to water. They’re also good electrical insulators.
Grade LR is often used for sleeve, flange, and linear bearings.
