PTFE Glass-Filled Rods

These rods are used in different fields, such as aerospace applications, electrical applications, and automotive Industries.

Our PTFE glass-filled rods are manufactured with high-quality material to offer high quality products for all the industries.

Key Properties

25% Glass-Filled PTFE: This variant improves mechanical properties, lubricity wear resistance, and compression properties, and thus has a higher degree of durability than simple PTFE.
Custom-Filled PTFE Rods: PTFE can be optimized with various fillers, such as carbon or ceramic, to achieve desired characteristics.
PTFE Rods with MoS2: These rods include molybdenum disulfide, which improves lubrication and wear resistance and is ideal for applications where reduced friction is crucial.

Aerospace Industry: Because of its lightweight and high tensile strength, PTFE glass-filled rods are applied in many parts of the aircraft. Owing to that, they are quite suitable to perform well under conditions with high temperatures.
Automotive Industry: In cars, these rods are used on components that require high strength and longer life span. Chemical resistance of their material allows them to be used in areas where they may come into contact with fluids, and road salt.
Electrical Industry: PTFE glass-filled rods are especially effective as insulators; these rods are used in electrical parts such as transformers and circuit breakers.
Food and Beverage Industry: These rods are non-stick, easy to clean, and properly chemical resistant so it is useful in food machinery applications.
CNC Machining: In the production of ground, turned, and cut parts PTFE rods are ideal due to their fine tolerance applications in custom parts for many commercial applications.

Enhanced Wear Resistance: These rods are incredibly robust due to glass fibres added into them even in demanding applications thus minimizing wear ages.
Improved Mechanical Strength: Due to the incorporation of glass fillers, it is easier for glass-filled PTFE to support higher stress without being deformed.
Chemical Resistance: These rods do not easily corrode but most chemical solutions including strong concentrated alkalis may affect these rods.
High-Temperature Tolerance: With the ability to withstand temperatures up to 260°C, these rods are perfect for high-heat applications.
Low Friction: Despite their added strength, these rods maintain a low friction surface, which helps in reducing wear and tear.
