PTFE Rods

Skyjet Polymer’s PTFE rods, manufactured via plunger ram extrusion, offer exceptional chemical resistance, low friction, and high temperature stability. Available in pure and modified PTFE, with lengths up to 5 meters and outer diameters ranging from 10mm to 400mm (custom sizes available).

Features:

  • Chemical Resistance: Excellent resistance to nearly all chemicals, including acids, bases, and organic solvents, ensuring reliability in harsh environments.
  • High Temperature Resistance: Operates continuously at temperatures up to 260°C (500°F) without degradation.
  • Low Friction Coefficient: One of the lowest friction coefficients among solids, reducing wear in sliding applications.
  • Non-Stick Surface: Prevents material buildup, simplifying cleaning and maintenance.
  • Electrical Insulation: Outstanding insulating properties, ideal for electrical and electronic applications.
  • Low Moisture Absorption: Maintains stability in humid conditions, ensuring consistent performance.

Used in chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, and electrical industries, PTFE rods are ideal for bearings, seals, gaskets, and insulators, providing durability and performance in demanding applications.

UHMWPE Rods

Skyjet Polymer’s UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) rods, produced through plunger ram extrusion, deliver superior wear resistance, low friction, and high impact strength. Available in pure and modified UHMWPE, with lengths up to 3 meters and outer diameters from 10mm to 200mm (custom sizes available).

Features:

  • Abrasion Resistance: Exceptional durability against wear, perfect for high-wear industrial applications.
  • Low Friction Coefficient: Enhances efficiency in sliding and conveying systems by reducing energy loss.
  • Chemical Resistance: Resists most chemicals, including acids and bases, ensuring longevity in corrosive environments.
  • Impact Strength: High toughness withstands heavy loads and impacts, ideal for rugged conditions.
  • FDA Compliance: Safe for food processing and potable water applications.
  • Low Moisture Absorption: Maintains stability in wet environments, preventing degradation.

Used in food processing, mining, marine, and industrial machinery, UHMWPE rods are ideal for bushings, rollers, guide rails, and wear components, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability.
