RS PRO Opaque Fluoroplastics PTFE Rod 500 mm Length x 38 mm Diameter Polytetrafluoroethylene Material 260°C Maximum 196-9916

RS PRO 196-9916 Fluoroplastics PTFE Rod is an opaque rod crafted from premium polytetrafluoroethylene material. With a length of 500 mm and a diameter of 38 mm, this rod is engineered for demanding industrial manufacturing applications requiring durability, chemical resistance, and high thermal tolerances.

The rod boasts a maximum operating temperature of 260°C, making it suitable for high-temperature applications. It offers excellent chemical and radiation resistance alongside a UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, which ensures it only burns briefly, thereby enhancing workplace safety.

Its tensile strength of 25 MPa and hardness of 30 Ball Indentation provide mechanical strength and resistance to wear, while its low water absorption rate of 0.3% guarantees dimensional stability even in humid or wet environments. The rod's dielectric performance enables its use in electromagnetically sensitive assemblies.

Common uses include fabrication into gaskets, gears, bearings, and other components requiring smooth motion due to the material's minimal friction and adhesion properties. This makes it suitable for industrial manufacturing, food processing industries, laboratory equipment assemblies, and electrical applications.
