![PTFE Sheet & Rod (Virgin Grade)]( "PTFE Sheet & Rod (Virgin Grade)")
PTFE Sheet & Rod (Virgin Grade)
PTFE is a fluoropolymer that exhibits astonishing chemical resistance and ultra high-purity. Self-lubricating and with a low friction coefficient, PTFE sheets and rods are ideally suited for the manufacture of high-temperature seals, insulators and bearings used in semiconductor, aerospace & chemical processing industries. PTFE's low coefficient of friction makes it suitable for applications where sliding action of parts is needed: such as plain bearings, gears, and slide plates. In these applications, it performs significantly better than nylon and acetal; and is comparable to UHMW. PTFE however can be used over a far wider temperature range than these materials; -100°F to +400°F (-73°C to 204°C) and offers superior electrical insulation properties. Although its' mechanical properties are low compared to other engineering plastics, those properties can be enhanced through the use of additives such as Carbon, Graphite, Bronze, and Glass Fiber. The most commonly known brand name of PTFE-based formulas is Teflon® by Chemours

PTFE Sheets & Rods (Mechanical Grade)
PTFE Sheets & Rods exhibit astonishing chemical resistance. PTFE is a self-lubricating material that provides a low friction coefficient, and is ideally suited for the manufacture of corrosion-resistant gaskets & seals. Several other manufacturers make their own brands of PTFE which can often be used as substitute material. We offers various brands of PTFE, but mechanical grade PTFE (as sold here) is a reprocessed grade that may contain a variety of brands in the overall blend. The mechanical properties and purity of Mechanical Grade PTFE may also be lower than Virgin Grade PTFE. Mechanical Grade PTFE is supplied without warrantee or any gaurantees regarding minimal properties. Customers requiring material certifications and traceabilty should consider VIRGIN PTFE made from Dyneon or Daiken resins, or Chemours® PTFE specialty grades such as Chemours® 7A, Chemours® 7C, Chemours® 8A or Chemours® 9B - Chemours® PTFE specialty grades are available as a custom order only and are priced higher than Generic Virgin PTFE Shapes - Lead-Time Will Apply.

![PTFE Shrink Tubing (2:1 & 4:1)]( "PTFE Shrink Tubing (2:1 & 4:1)")
PTFE Shrink Tubing (2:1 & 4:1)
PTFE heat shrink tubing (PTFE) is available in 2:1 and 4:1 shrink ratios, and is widely used in military applications (MIL-I-23053/12) because of its high continuous use temperature (250°C), and outstanding chemical resistance.
- PTFE heat shrink tubing is the most difficult of the three fluoropolymer materials to shrink due to its extremely high shrinking temperature (325-340°C). You can use a heat gun or welding torch to shrink PTFE, but these methods have a tendency to cause the material to overheat in small areas, while under-heating other areas, causing uneven shrinking and potential burning of the material. The most reliable method for shrinking PTFE Teflon is the use of a controlled temperature oven; however this is impractical with large harnesses or temperature sensitive components.
- PTFE heat shrink tubing is available in a 2:1 shrink ratio and 4:1. The 2:1 is available in up to four different wall thicknesses. Please note: when ordering our 2:1 PTFE Heat shrink, ORDER AS SIZE AFTER SHRINKING.

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.

![Royalite® R-47 Sheet]( "Royalite® R-47 Sheet")
Royalite® R-47 Sheet
ROYALITE® R47 is a new sheet product specifically engineered for seating components. ROYALITE® R47 thermoplastic sheet is a proprietary PVC alloy that is cost competitive
with acrylic/PVC alloys while maintaining
physical performance and improving
formability. It maintains the superior
thermoforming characteristics of an ABS/PVC
alloy, while bringing a higher degree of
impact, tensile strength, and stiffness. It also
has improved heat distortion characteristics
over most acrylic/PVC sheets. Its high degree
of rigidity, especially in thin gauges, and lower
specific gravity when compared to competitive
acrylic/PVC's allows for significant cost-perpart
savings.
APPLICATIONS:
The combination of toughness, durability, and
fire retardancy* makes Royalite® R47 the
perfect choice for a wide variety of
applications. Its excellent abrasion and
chemical resistance make it suitable for many
industrial applications such as trays, tote
boxes, ducts, and sinks. High rigidity and
excellent fire rating* at thin gauges make it
ideal for electronic equipment and business
machine housings, and improved high
temperature performance over most
acrylic/PVC materials makes it the material of
choice for internal electronic components.
