Fluorotherm's manufactures extruded Neoflon® PCTFE (previously known as Kel-F®) rod or bar stock. Standard stock sizes upto 1.00" diameter are currently available. Tolerance ranges from -0.000" to +0.002". Products are free of contamination, degradation or shrink voids in the bar stock. applications where chemical inertness to aggressive fluids is critical.
Fluorotherm introduces corrosion resistant load bearing metal rods; with complete encapsulation in PTFE, FEP, PFA. These rods may be used to support work in a corrosive environment such as a plating or coating bath, as a carrier to transport work in a chemically agressive environment and in numerous other uses. The rigidity of the metal core provides strength that cannot be matched by plastic rods. A PTFE or other adapter of appropriate configuration over the encapsulated rod can be used as points of support. This encapsulated construction is rugged and provides the strength of metal and the chemical resistance of Teflon®. Such construction can bear upto 700 lb loads in nitric, HF; hydrochloric and sulfuric acid baths and other hazardous atmospheres. The complete fluoropolymer encapsulation is distinctly superior to heat shrink tube covering where the wall thickness is too light to sustain reasonable loads or abrasive wear without tearing or cracking. The high continuous use temperature of PTFE, FEP or PFA permits these materials to be used up to 400 deg F.

CTFE has a high compressive strength and low deformation under load. It is inert to attack to variety of chemicals, including mineral acids.It is generally not recommended for use with organic solvents. Its excellent properties, particularly at high temperatures, makes it the material of choice in heating and ultrapure applications.A tabulated comparison of properties of CTFE versus other fluoropolymers is available from Fluorotherm.
All rods are extruded from virgin resin using standard extrusion techniques. The following specifications apply to all PCTFE extruded rod manufactured by Fluorotherm Polymers.
CNC or screw machining operations convert bar stock into products for a wide variety of applications in the chemical, and the electrical field. PCTFE is well established these applications due to its fluoropolymer characteristic and high strength.
Standard rod sizes are generally available from stock. Lead times for out of stock items vary from 1-3 weeks. Please e-mail or call us for competitive pricing information.
