Rulon^® Fluoropolymers

641 PTFE

Rulon^® 641 is manufactured from FDA and USDA compliant materials possessing excellent loads and wear characteristics while meeting the requirements for USP Class VI.

It offers excellent, continuous non-lubricated service up to 10,000 PV – higher for intermittent service. While the load capacity of Rulon^® 641 is generally limited to 1,000 psi (6.9 MPa) at room temperature, deformation is a function of wall thickness, temperature and load.

Its compatibility with a wide array of mating surfaces, as well as harder metals, make it a good choice for most food and pharmaceutical bearing applications.
