Supplied as a 1 m unit with a net weight of 0,12 kg, the stock is intended for workshops and laboratories that fabricate custom components from virgin PTFE bar. The material is virgin polytetrafluoroethylene as specified for this series and is suited to turning, milling, cutting, and related secondary operations whenever solid PTFE feedstock is required. The rods form part of the BOLA range from manufacturer Bohlender and support production of seals, bushings, spacers, and other laboratory or technical parts from virgin PTFE stock.

Questions about BOLA Rods, Ø ca. 8 mm virgin PTFE
What is this article?
BOLA Rods, Ø ca. 8 mm virgin PTFE is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Bohlender for laboratory use. It sits in Stands, rods & bases, inside Stands, clamps & racks, in Labware.
A retort stand is a base and a rod. The base mass keeps a clamped flask from tipping. Rod diameter decides which bossheads fit. A light base under a heavy condenser is how glassware falls.
A stand, a clamp and a rack hold something still so the hands can do the work. A bosshead locks a clamp to a rod. A test-tube rack keeps tubes upright and in an order the operator can read back. The failure is almost always mechanical: the clamp slips, or the rack does not match the tube diameter. The glass they support is indexed under ISO laboratory glassware.
