PTFE Extruded Rod — Continuous Length for High-Volume Machining

Kaxite PTFE extruded rod is produced by paste extrusion — PTFE resin is blended with a lubricant, pre-formed into a billet and forced through a die to form a continuous rod that is then dried and sintered. This continuous process delivers long, straight rods with consistent diameter — the preferred raw material for high-volume CNC machining of small-to-medium diameter PTFE parts.

Manufactured in Ningbo, China by Kaxite Sealing. Diameter range Ø3–50 mm, standard lengths 1000 mm and 2000 mm. Available in virgin PTFE (natural white) and filled grades — 15-25% glass fibre, carbon-graphite, bronze and modified PTFE (TFM). FDA 21 CFR 177.1550, RoHS and REACH certified.

Frequently asked questions

What is PTFE extruded rod and how is it made?
PTFE extruded rod is produced by paste extrusion — a process where PTFE resin is blended with a hydrocarbon lubricant, pre-formed into a cylindrical billet, and forced through a die under pressure to form a continuous rod. The extruded rod is then dried to remove the lubricant and sintered at high temperature to fuse the PTFE particles. This continuous process produces long, straight rods with consistent diameter, making extruded rod the preferred raw material for high-volume CNC machining of small-to-medium diameter PTFE parts.
What is the difference between extruded and molded PTFE rod?
Extruded PTFE rod is produced by continuously forcing PTFE through a die, giving longer rod lengths (up to 2000 mm) and lower unit-length cost — best for small-to-medium diameters (Ø3-50 mm) and high-volume machining. Molded PTFE rod is produced by filling a cylindrical mold with PTFE powder, compressing and sintering — it can reach much larger diameters (Ø25-500 mm) but comes in shorter segments and costs more per metre. Extruded rod has slightly better diametric tolerance; molded rod has slightly higher density in the core. Both have essentially identical chemical and thermal properties.
Which diameter and length can you supply?
Standard extruded rod diameters are Ø3 mm to Ø50 mm, in 1 mm increments for most sizes, with standard lengths of 1000 mm and 2000 mm. Larger diameters up to Ø500 mm are available in molded rod format. Custom diameters, custom lengths and cut-to-size pieces are all available on request. Send us the required diameter, length and quantity and we will confirm availability and pricing within 24 hours.
What grades of PTFE rod are available?
Virgin PTFE (natural white) is the standard grade for chemical resistance, electrical insulation and FDA/food contact. Filled grades are also available: 15-25% glass fibre for improved compressive strength and wear resistance; carbon-graphite for high-speed dynamic seals and low friction; bronze for thermal conductivity and dimensional stability; and modified PTFE (TFM) for better creep resistance and weldability. Send us the operating conditions and we will recommend the appropriate grade.
Can you machine PTFE rod into finished parts?
We supply raw extruded rod for our customers to machine in-house, and we also offer CNC machining of finished PTFE parts on request — seals, gaskets, valve seats, insulating rings, bearings, wear rings and bespoke components. Send a DXF, DWG, PDF or STEP drawing with material grade and quantity, and we will quote within 24 hours. Tooling and machining of PTFE requires sharp cutters and low cutting speeds to avoid deformation — we will advise on the optimal approach for your part.
What is the MOQ, lead time and sample policy?
MOQ is flexible and depends on diameter, length and grade. Standard lead time is 7-15 days after order confirmation. Free short sample pieces are available for qualified buyers — send us the required diameter and grade, and we will confirm sample lead time. OEM/ODM, private-label packaging, cut-to-length and custom diameters are supported.
