Product Description

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) Plastic Rod for engineering applications

PTFE Plastic Rod, readily known as Teflon™ is an engineering plastic that can handle high temperatures, has a high chemical resistance, and has the lowest coefficient of friction, in comparison with other plastics such as Nylon or Acetal.  The working temperature is around 250-260C and has a melting temperature of 327C.

PTFE is used for industrial applications that require sliding action.  Great for bearings, gears, slide plates.  Also has very good electrical insulation properties.  And can handle outdoor conditions.

Other uses:  Seals, Seats, Packing,

Also known as Teflon, Polytetrafluoroethylene, PTFE, Tetron.

Yes, Nylon is generally stronger than PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) in terms of tensile strength. Nylon has a higher tensile strength, typically around 70-90 MPa, compared to PTFE, which is around 20-30 MPa. Nylon is also more rigid and durable, making it suitable for load-bearing applications. PTFE, however, excels in chemical resistance, low friction, and high temperature tolerance. While PTFE is not as strong, it is often preferred for applications requiring non-stick properties, high temperature endurance, and chemical resistance, like in seals and gaskets.
Any piece of machinery that requires greater lubrication should be constructed with Teflon rather than nylon, since Teflon’s water-repellent properties make it a stronger lubricant.

What is the difference between PTFE and Teflon?

They are the same thing. Teflon is a brand name of PTFE which is a registered trademark owned by the Du Pont company.
