Usa Industrials BULK-PS-PTFE-1044 Virgin Ptfe Bar

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-PS-PTFE-1044 is a virgin-grade polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) bar stock cut to a rectangular cross-section measuring 0.625 inches thick by 1.5 inches wide by 12 inches long. Virgin PTFE contains no recycled or reclaimed material, which preserves the resin's inherent chemical inertness, low coefficient of friction, and broad temperature resistance. This bar stock is used to fabricate custom seals, gaskets, bearing pads, bushings, valve seats, and slide components across plumbing, chemical, HVAC, and industrial maintenance applications. Machinists and maintenance technicians are the primary end users.

This bar stock is suited for environments where chemical resistance, non-stick surface properties, or dielectric performance are required. Typical applications include cutting custom-shaped seals or thrust washers for valve and pump assemblies, fabricating slide pads for HVAC equipment supports, and producing low-friction wear surfaces in fluid-handling systems. The white color and rectangular shape allow straightforward layout and machining on standard mill or lathe equipment.

Key Features

• Virgin PTFE material - no recycled content, full chemical inertness preserved
• Rectangular bar profile at 0.625 inches thick by 1.5 inches wide simplifies flat-stock machining
• 12-inch length provides sufficient stock for most custom seal or pad fabrication tasks
• White color allows clear scribe lines for layout work
• Dimensioned to 0.060-inch tolerance, suitable for close-fit machined components
• Broad chemical resistance makes it appropriate for use with acids, bases, and solvents common in plumbing and industrial service

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose virgin PTFE bar stock for machining custom seals, gaskets, bushings, and bearing pads in plumbing, HVAC, pool, and industrial maintenance applications where PTFE is the specified material.

Installation Notes

PTFE bar stock is machined to final dimensions before installation in the target assembly. Use sharp tooling at appropriate feeds and speeds to avoid tearing the material surface. Follow all applicable mechanical codes and manufacturer specifications for the assembly receiving the finished component. Wear appropriate PPE when cutting or machining PTFE, as fine particulate is generated during machining operations.
