PTFE Tubes & Rings - Molded
PTFE is renowned for its temperature resistance and slick, non-stick qualities. As an industrial material, PTFE has exceptional chemical resistance, high and low temperature durability, low coefficient of friction and superb insulating qualities. It lacks toughness for abrasive applications, however, and is not readily fastened together using adhesives unless the surface is "etched" to accept the bonding agent. PTFE properties can be improved with the addition of fillers such as glass fiber and carbon.
- PTFE Tubes sold on this page are compression-molded as ordered.
- Typical Lead-Time is 10-14 Business Days. Faster Delivery Upon Request.
-
Polyurethane Tubes - Molded
Molded Polyurethane Tubes are made of tough, crack-resistant, and abrasion-resistant polyurethane, which lasts significantly longer than conventional rubbers and plastics. We provide polyurethane in custom diameters, lengths, hardness, and colors with little or no tooling costs.
-
Acetal Tubes
Acetal Tubes - Acetal Copolymer Tubes provide high strength and stiffness coupled with enhanced dimensional stability and ease of machining. As a semi-crystalline material, acetal is also characterized by a low coefficient of friction and good wear properties especially in wet environments. Because of its high strength, modulus, and resistance to impact and fatigue, Acetal copolymer tubes are used as a weight-saving metal replacement. Acetal copolymer overcomes the common problem of centerline porosity in large shapes of Acetal Homopolymer (aka Delrin)
- Acetal Copolymer is preferred to Delrin (DuPont brand Acetal Homopolymer) where centerline porosity is a concern.
- Acetal copolymer is produced under several brand names including Celcon, Ultraform & Acetron.
