Summary:A complete RFQ includes diameter, tolerance, quantity, application media, resin grade, and destination. Drawings or samples accelerate quoting for custom programs.
Quick Answer: What to Include in a PTFE Ball RFQ
Send diameter, tolerance, quantity, application media and temperature, and shipping destination. Attach a drawing (PDF, STEP, DXF) or physical sample for custom work. This is everything our sales team needs to return accurate factory pricing without back-and-forth.
RFQ Checklist for Engineers and Procurement
| Field | Why It Matters | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Nominal diameter | Determines die selection and machining path | 25.40 mm (1.000″) |
| Tolerance band | Affects grinding time and inspection method | ±0.10 mm or ±0.01 mm (tight OEM) |
| Grade / resin | Virgin, coloured, or filled compound | Virgin PTFE (GFL Inoflon equivalent) |
| Application | Guides grade and surface finish recommendation | Chemical check valve, sulfuric acid, 80°C |
| Quantity | MOQ and tooling amortization | 500 pcs / month OEM program |
| Destination | Shipping terms and packaging | FOB Mundra or DAP warehouse |
Drawing and Sample Submissions
For custom PTFE balls, we accept PDF, DXF, DWG, STEP, STP, IGES, and SolidWorks files. Physical samples can be shipped to our Dahegam facility for reverse measurement. Drawings should note:
- Nominal diameter and tolerance (metric or inch)
- Material grade (virgin, filled type, colour if applicable)
- Surface finish or sphericity requirement
- Special features: holes, threads, flats, grooves
- Regulatory needs: FDA, MTC, inspection report
What Direct Factory Sourcing Looks Like
Buying from our Gujarat plant (see factory capabilities) means:
- No broker markup — pricing reflects in-house production cost
- Batch traceability — resin lot, compaction run, and inspection records
- Technical access — direct communication with production and QA teams
- Flexible runs — prototype quantities through volume OEM batches
Lead Times and Packaging Expectations
| Order Type | Typical Dispatch |
|---|---|
| Standard virgin stock sizes | 24–48 hours |
| Coloured or filled custom | 7–15 business days |
| Export OEM volume | Agreed per contract; see export guide |
Domestic orders ship in anti-static polybags and corrugated cartons. Export programs use multi-layer packaging with ISPM-15 pallets for sea freight.
Documentation Available on Request
- Material Test Certificate (MTC) — resin grade, specific gravity, hardness
- Dimensional inspection report — diameter and roundness per batch
- FDA compliance statement for virgin food-contact grades
- Certificate of origin for international customs
Before You Submit — Selection Resources
- PTFE Ball Selection Guide — grade and tolerance framework
- Size Chart — standard diameters 5 mm to 310 mm
- PTFE vs Teflon — brand vs polymer naming on drawings
How to Buy PTFE Balls — FAQ
What information should my RFQ include?
Ball diameter (metric or inch), tolerance, quantity, application (valve type, media, temperature), resin grade if specified, and shipping destination.
What are typical lead times?
Standard stock sizes: 24–48 hours dispatch. Custom diameters or tooling: 10–15 business days depending on volume and die requirements.
Do you export PTFE balls worldwide?
Yes. We ship to Europe, North America, Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa via sea and air freight. See our export supply guide.
Can I send a drawing or sample?
Yes. PDF, STEP, DXF, or physical samples help us quote custom machined PTFE balls accurately and reduce iteration time.
Do you provide material test certificates?
MTCs stating resin grade, specific gravity, and dimensional compliance are available on request. Export shipments include a full documentation pack.
Is buying direct from the factory better than a marketplace listing?
Direct factory sourcing gives batch traceability, technical communication, and pricing without broker markup — important for OEM valve and pump programs.
