RS PRO Opaque PTFE Rod 1m x 15mm, Fluoroplastics, 260°C Max Temp, High Chemical & Thermal Resistance 680-634

RS PRO 680-634 Opaque PTFE Rod is designed to meet stringent industrial requirements where high chemical resistance and exceptional thermal stability are essential. This rod, measuring 1 meter in length and 15 mm diameter, is manufactured from premium polytetrafluoroethylene, a durable synthetic fluoropolymer noted for its outstanding resistance to a wide variety of corrosive chemicals and excellent long-term mechanical properties.

This opaque PTFE rod provides a broad operating temperature range from -200°C to +260°C, ensuring reliability in demanding thermal environments. With a density of 2.21 g/cm³ and tensile strength of 25 MPa, it offers both rigidity and flexibility for different engineered applications. The UL 94 V-0 flammability rating and high dielectric strength make the material suitable for electrical insulation tasks where fire resistance and electrical safety are critical.

The rod's combination of low friction, non-stick surface, and inertness allows use in assemblies with repeated motion, including valve seats, rollers, and components exposed to aggressive fluids or steam. The low water absorption rate (0.3%) and full resistance to UV light, weather, and corrosion provide dependable operation in outdoor and harsh conditions. Hardness of 30 Ball Indentation ensures mechanical stability under load, while the elongation capability adds a margin of toughness for structural applications.

Typical usage scenarios include bushings, insulators, gears, sheaves, cable insulation, structural components, and medical or food processing device parts requiring biocompatibility and material sterility. Its non-toxic and inert formulation supports use in sensitive, clean, and sterile environments. Compliance with FDA, REACH, RoHS, ISO 9001, Aerospace, and EU 10/2011 supports deployment in regulated sectors.

RS PRO PTFE Rods are engineered and tested for high reliability in demanding projects, making them essential stock for industrial, laboratory, electrical, chemical processing, and maintenance facilities.
