PTFE Semi-Finished Products and Extrudates – Tubes, Rods and Profiles in PTFE
PTFE Extrusion in Standard and Custom Dimensions – Profiles up to 20 Metres in Length
PTFE semi-finished products form the technical basis for durable and high-performance components. Beichler & Grünenwald manufactures PTFE extrudates in the form of tubes, solid rods and profiles made from virgin PTFE, modified PTFE (TFM®) and specialised PTFE compounds.
In addition to standard market dimensions, we economically produce customised special formats with optimised material usage. A particular strength is the extrusion of slender PTFE profiles in lengths of up to 20 metres. This enables design solutions that cannot be realised with conventional semi-finished products.
As a PTFE specialist, we support you from material selection and profile geometry design through to series-ready production.
High-Quality PTFE Semi-Finished Products for Industrial Applications
Our PTFE semi-finished products and extrudates are used wherever chemical resistance, temperature stability, dimensional accuracy and a low coefficient of friction are essential.
Typical industries include:
- Mechanical and plant engineering
- Chemical process industry
- Medical technology
- Food and pharmaceutical industry
- Electrical engineering and insulation applications
Through the precise coordination of material formulation, extrusion parameters and post-processing, we produce PTFE extrudates with clearly defined mechanical, thermal and tribological properties.
PTFE Tubes, Rods and Profiles – Standard Formats and Custom Solutions
We extrude:
- PTFE tubes with defined internal and external diameters
- PTFE solid rods for subsequent machining
- PTFE profiles in straight, slender or complex geometries
Graduated die geometries allow us to minimise unnecessary machining allowances. This reduces material consumption, downstream processing effort and overall manufacturing costs.
Our PTFE extrudates are precisely matched to your design requirements – not as a standard product, but as a functional solution.
PTFE Profiles up to 20 Metres – Design Freedom Without Joints
The extrusion of PTFE profiles up to 20 metres in length enables continuous geometries without segmentation.
This provides clear advantages for:
- Guide and sliding elements
- Sealing and scraper profiles
- Insulation and protective profiles
- Long linear constructions
Fewer joints mean reduced assembly effort, fewer weak points and increased operational reliability.
This production capability represents a clear differentiator in the PTFE processing market.
RAM Extrusion Process – Reproducible Quality Over Long Lengths
Our PTFE extrudates are manufactured using a continuous RAM extrusion process. PTFE granulate is compacted under controlled conditions and sintered before being formed into tubes, rods or profiles.
This process ensures:
- Homogeneous material structure
- High dimensional accuracy
- Reproducible material properties
- Economical production, including custom dimensions
Our machinery is specifically designed for processing PTFE and TFM® and enables both series production and project-based customised solutions.
Materials for PTFE Semi-Finished Products: PTFE, TFM® and Compounds
For our PTFE semi-finished products and extrudates, we process:
- Virgin PTFE: For maximum chemical resistance, temperature stability and electrical insulation.
- Modified PTFE (TFM®): With higher density, lower porosity and improved weldability. Particularly suitable for applications requiring enhanced tightness and reduced permeability.
- PTFE compounds: Filled with glass fibre, graphite, carbon, bronze or specific additives to improve wear resistance, sliding behaviour or compressive strength.
We advise you on which material variant is technically and economically suitable for your application.

Frequently Asked Questions About PTFE Extrudates and Semi-Finished Products
PTFE extrudates are continuously manufactured semi-finished products such as tubes, rods or profiles made from polytetrafluoroethylene. They are characterised by consistent quality and the ability to be produced in long lengths.
Beichler & Grünenwald produces semi-finished products using RAM extrusion or isostatic pressing. PTFE granulate is compacted and sintered under controlled conditions to produce precise and homogeneous blanks.
In addition to standard dimensions, we manufacture customised special formats. PTFE profiles can be extruded in lengths of up to 20 metres. PTFE semi-finished products are used in the chemical industry, mechanical and plant engineering, medical technology and the food industry – wherever high resistance and precision are required.
TFM® is a modified PTFE with higher density, lower porosity and improved weldability, making it particularly suitable for tight and durable extrudates.
Yes. Upon request, we supply PTFE extrudates with a 3.1 inspection certificate in accordance with DIN EN 10204 and a declaration of conformity.
PTFE semi-finished products are pre-manufactured forms such as rods, tubes, sheets or profiles made from polytetrafluoroethylene. They serve as base material for further machining into technical components and sealing elements.
