Rod PFA

Rods are available in different materials and can be shaped and cut according to your needs. Vanéflon can execute various production techniques to meet your requirements: compression molding, horizontal molding, hot molding and extrusion. Vanéflon can guarantee tolerances up to 0,1 mm. The big stock makes for fast delivery times. If you have specific requirements, tailormade production is possible. Compression molding Compression molding is a forming process in which a plastic material is placed directly into a heated mold. The heat will soften the material and therefore force it to conform to the shape of the mold, as the mold closes. It is a high-volume, high-pressure method suitable for molding complex, high-strength materials. The compression molding process allows for low-stress parts with excellent dimension, chemical and mechanical characteristics. Compression molding has the ability to mold large and fairly intricate parts. It is also one of the lowest cost molding methods. Moreover it wastes relatively little material, giving it an advantage when working with expensive compounds. Key properties: Diameter: max. 1.250 mm Length: max. 150 or 300 mm Low-stress parts Excellent dimensional, chemical and mechanical characteristics Low cost Horizontal molding Vanéflon has developed a new ‘horizontal compression’ molding technique. It works according to the same principles as compression molding, but applies horizontal and vertical pressure to produce shaped profiles. This results in very high-composites with no wrinkling, even on complicated geometries. After horizontal molding the rods are polished for narrow tolerances and roundness.
