PTFE Rod is an extremely versatile engineering plastic that has many important performance advantages over other materials and has helped PTFE Rod become one of the most important engineering plastic materials available at the moment. One key important advantage of PTFE Rod is its operating temperature range; it can easily out perform other engineering plastics by being able to perform continuously at -250°C, right up to an amazing plus 250°C. Another important advantage of PTFE Rod is its outstanding co-efficient of friction. PTFE is excellent for low friction bearings, bushes, rollers and pulleys. PTFE is also almost exclusively used in cryogenic components due to its ultra low operating temperatures. PTFE Rod is regularly used for seals. PTFE Rod has become a very important engineering plastic used within the aerospace industry and aeronautics. PTFE is often used within the food industry companies. Another useful application over the years has been in the use of product or component handles due to its resistance to heat and heat transfer.
