Molded PTFE Rod

PTFE Molded Rod:

Ptfe rod can produce stock materials from 1.25 to 32 inches outside diameter with various size inside diameters. Most of these sizes are molded 12 inches in length.
Three step process for Compression Molding:First, a specified amount of PTFE resin is loaded into a steel cylindrical mold. Next the resin is compressed under hydraulic and air pressure for a specified time according to the recipe. The preformed billet is then stripped from the mold and placed into a forced air oven for the final step called sintering. After the sintering process is complete the PTFE billet is ready to be machined.

Application:

Molded PTFE rods is generally used as machining stock for all kinds of chemical, electrical and mechanical components where the outstanding performance characteristics of PTFE are required. Various fillers are available to modify the properties of PTFE to meet application requirements.
Note:All ptfe rods can be etched for bonding, and can be mounted on a plywood disk for less waste in machining. Also can be made with filled (reinforced) PTFE to enhance the performance parameters of PTFE. Materials available for reinforcement are Glass Fiber, Graphite, Bronze we can do.
