Product Description
We are offering the Bronze Filled PTFE Rod to our clients. As PTFE, which stands for Polytetrafluoroethylene, can withstand huge temperature which makes it applicable for various purposes in different industrial sectors. In PTFE rod some amount of bronze powder is filled in, which results in the form hard wearing material. Presence of bronze in PTFE offers the comparatively better dimensional stability, which enhances its hardness via increasing the electrical and thermal conductivity. Offered Bronze Filled Polytetrafluoroethylene Rod is constructed carefully by as per the industrial parameters, by following the extrusion processes. This strong grade of bronze filled rod can be obtained at compatible rates.

Advanced Performance MaterialBronze filled PTFE rods provide superior mechanical properties, including elevated compressive and tensile strength, making them well-suited for high-stress industrial applications. The addition of bronze filler not only improves wear resistance and hardness (Shore D: 60-65), but also significantly enhances electrical conductivity compared to pure PTFE.
Versatile Applications and CustomizationThese rods are frequently used for manufacturing bushings, bearing pads, seals, and wear rings, thanks to their excellent chemical resistance and low coefficient of friction (0.14 - 0.18). Standard and custom sizes are readily available, with diameters up to 300 mm and thickness from 10 mm to 100 mm, catering to a wide array of project requirements.
FAQs of Bronze Filled PTFE Rod:
Q: How does bronze filling enhance the properties of PTFE rods?
A: Bronze filler (about 40% by weight) boosts the compressive and tensile strength, improves dimensional stability, enhances wear resistance, and increases electrical conductivity without compromising PTFEs inherent low friction and chemical resistance.
Q: What are the typical applications for bronze filled PTFE rods?
A: These rods are commonly used in the production of bushings, bearing pads, seals, and wear rings, particularly in environments requiring robust chemical resistance and mechanical durability, such as the chemical, hydraulic, and food processing industries.
Q: When should I choose a bronze filled PTFE rod over a pure PTFE rod?
A: A bronze filled PTFE rod is the preferred choice when your application demands higher compressive strength, better wear performance, and improved electrical conductivity compared to pure PTFE, such as in heavy-load bearing or sliding components.
Q: Where can these rods be used given their temperature resistance?
A: Due to a working temperature range from -200C to +260C and a melting point of 327C, bronze filled PTFE rods can be used in both extremely cold and hot environments, making them suitable for a variety of industrial and chemical processing applications.
Q: What process is used to produce the smooth, machinable surface finish on these rods?
A: The rods are manufactured using precision extrusion and machining techniques, resulting in a smooth surface finish that can be further tailored to specific tolerances and requirements as needed by the application.
Q: How does the low water absorption benefit industrial applications?
A: With water absorption less than 0.01%, these rods maintain their mechanical properties in moist or submerged conditions, ensuring long-lasting performance in applications where exposure to water or humidity is expected.
Q: What are the major benefits of using bronze filled PTFE rods over other materials?
A: Bronze filled PTFE rods combine excellent chemical resistance, superior mechanical strength, low friction, minimal water absorption, and customizable size options, making them a highly reliable choice for demanding engineering applications.
