National fluoromers is a renowned manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of PTFE extruded rods, offering lightweight, chemically inert, and highly flexible solutions for diverse industrial uses. These rods are produced using precision extrusion methods that ensure consistency in size, smooth finish, and excellent workability—making them ideal for both static and dynamic applications.

Available in smaller diameters and longer continuous lengths, our extruded PTFE rods are widely used for making seals, insulators, bushings, and machined components.

what is a PTFE extruded rod?

PTFE extruded rods are made by forcing high-purity PTFEresin through a die using an extrusion process. This method allows for the production of smaller diameter rods with uniform cross-sections and flexible lengths.

They are a cost-effective alternative to molded rods for many general-purpose and lightweight applications that still require the outstanding chemical, thermal, and electrical properties of PTFE.

key features
