PTFE Compression Molding

Plastomer Technologies specializes in the manufacture of Texolon® compression molded PTFE rods and cylinders. With virtually unlimited tooling combinations, we can provide you with material that closely matches your finished requirement, minimizing your machining and material loss.

Sizes: 1" to 62" diameter

We can customize or enhance any of our standard shapes with fillers or reinforcements to meet our customer's unique applications. We offer compounds from all of the above fillers and also include high performance fillers that have been developed to enhance the performance of your product in its application. Features of the standard fillers are as follows:

• Glass Fiber: Increases compressive strength, rigidity and wear. Reduces creep and cold flow. Minimal effect on chemical and electrical properties
• Carbon: Increases compressive strength, hardness, wear, and load properties. Good chemical resistance. Various types and amounts of carbon can be added to alter conductivity
• Graphite: Reduces coefficient of friction Reduces initial wear. Increases strength
• Molybdenum Disulfide: Increases hardness, stiffness, and wear. Minimal effect on chemical and electrical properties
• Bronze: Increases hardness and wear resistance. Increases dimensional stability and compressive strength Not suitable for corrosive or electrical applications
• Pigments: Identification, visibility or branding

All of our PTFE compression molding is done from our facility in Houston, TX
