Bend-and-Stay Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel Wire

Bend this wire and it will stay in place. It's widely used as tying and locking wire. Made of 316/316L stainless steel, it has less carbon than standard 316 for better weldability. The addition of molybdenum gives this material excellent corrosion resistance. Use it in a variety of marine and chemical-processing applications.

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.
