Graphite-Infused PTFE Rods
Our EXTRUDED PTFE TEFLON GRAPHITE RODs offer excellent thermal conductivity, chemical inertness, and low friction properties, resulting in minimal wear to mating surfaces. The addition of graphite enhances chemical resistance in corrosive environments and provides exceptional initial wear and rubbing/sliding performance in both dry and wet applications. This graphite blend is commonly combined with carbon and PTFE.
Filled Grade PTFE TEFLON products are highly sought after as machining stock for a wide range of chemical, electrical, and mechanical components that demand the remarkable attributes of PTFE.
Graphite-infused PTFE boasts exceptional chemical resistance and compatibility with most hydraulic fluids. It excels when used in hydraulic/pneumatic compression rod and piston seals, bearing bands, and rotary applications.
Advantages of Graphite-Infused PTFE:
- Reduced coefficient of friction in comparison to other filled PTFE materials.
- Higher flexural modulus and surface hardness when compared to unmodified PTFE.
Drawbacks of Graphite-Infused PTFE:
- Lower notched impact strength, tensile strength, elongation at break, and electrical characteristics in contrast to unmodified PTFE.
- Potential for graphite leaching.
