    Chemical-Resistant Ultra-Low-Friction PTFE Rods

    These rods and discs are made of PTFE, a material that surpasses most plastic 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.
