Wear-, Impact-, and Chemical-Resistant PTFE Rods
- Color: See table
- Temperature Range: -400° to 550° F
- Tensile Strength: 2,000-3,100 psi (Poor)
- Impact Strength: 6 ft.-lbs./in. (Excellent)
- Hardness: Not Rated (Medium)
- For Use Outdoors: No
- Specifications Met: See table
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 641 is often used to fabricate bearings and pump parts.
Grade J is the most slippery of the Rulon materials and is often used to make gaskets and wear strips.
Grade LR is often used for sleeve, flange, and linear bearings.
