    Chemical-Resistant Ultra-Low-Friction PTFE U-Channels

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Chemical-Resistant Ultra-Low-Friction PTFE U-Channels.
    With a naturally slippery surface, these PTFE U-channels are useful in fabrications that require sliding action, such as frames for panel doors. They surpass most plastic when it comes to chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures. They’re also excellent electrical insulators and easy to machine.

    This hard plastic edge trim prevents denting and wear on everything from enclosure panels to safety mirrors. It stands up to knocks and scrapes over longer periods than our rubber and foam trim, though it doesn’t offer the same protective cushion when people and parts bump against it.

    High-Temperature Slippery PTFE—Stays strong and flexible at temperatures about twice as high as our other plastic trim. It’s also the slipperiest edge trim we offer, so it helps maintain a constant flow of parts on chutes, slides, and other conveying equipment.
    Hardness Rating—The harder the edge trim, the better it withstands impact and abrasion over time. The softer the edge trim, the more cushioning it provides for fragile materials such as glass and thin metal.
