RS PRO Opaque Fluoroplastics PTFE Rod, 300 mm Length x 130 mm Diameter, Polytetrafluoroethylene Material, Tensile 197-0045

RS PRO 197-0045 opaque fluoroplastics PTFE rod is designed for manufacturing high-quality parts and components. This 300 mm length rod with 130 mm diameter is composed of polytetrafluoroethylene, a material prized for its excellent machinability and durability in industrial applications.

This PTFE rod exhibits outstanding dielectric performance, making it suitable for environments sensitive to electromagnetic interference. The material also resists chemicals and radiation effectively, ensuring longevity in challenging conditions.

With a UL 94 V-0 certification, it offers enhanced fire safety by limiting burn time to 30 seconds under flame exposure. Its low friction properties enable smooth motion without heat or noise generation, ideal for components such as bearings, gears, and gaskets in food processing and manufacturing industries.

The rod’s technical specifications include a density of 2.21 g/cm³, tensile strength of 25 MPa, and operating temperature capability up to 260°C. It also maintains thermal conductivity at 0.25 W/mK and hardness at 30 ball indentation. Minimal water absorption at 0.3% ensures stable performance in moist environments, while elongation at 50% facilitates flexible machining.

The rod is opaque in color, ensuring consistent appearance across applications. It provides superior mechanical strength and thermal resistance suitable for rigorous industrial use. Its material composition supports applications vulnerable to chemical exposure and electrical interference.

Common uses include manufacturing components in automotive, aerospace, food processing, and industrial sectors. Country of origin is Italy, assuring quality manufacturing standards.
