PTFE
Fluoropolymer tube is almost universally inert to industrial chemicals & solvents & can handle nearly any corrosive material with low permeability of the tube contents. This makes PTFE ideal for a vast range of applications, particularly transport of harsh chemicals.
We have a range of stock sizes, but we can supply custom manufactured PTFE from 0.2mm to 40mm ID, with a variety of wall thicknesses from 0.15mm to 5mm depending on technical construction. We can also supply Convoluted PTFE, coloured PTFE & FEP tubing.
Applications
- Transport of harsh chemicals
- Transport of nutrients
- Painting & printing equipment
- Abrasion protection
- Welding electrode guide tubing
- Electrical insulation
- Analytical instruments
- Environmental monitoring equipment
- Heat exchangers
- Component covering
Features & Benefits
- Suitable for food use
- Non-hardening & non-stick
- Durable
- Retains flexibility & integrity within a wide operating temperature range
- Excellent resistance against aging
- Plasticizer free
- Low permeability
- Excellent friction co-efficient
Chemical Resistance
- Almost universally inert to industrial chemicals and solvents
- Can handle virtually any corrosive material in use today
- Low permeability of the tube contents
Custom Manufacture
We can also offer Convoluted PTFE, which boasts all the same great properties as our stock PTFE along with a very good flexlife and improved bend radius.
Please call the sales office or visit the Convoluted PTFE page for more information
PTFE is available as a carrier hose in our Dual Containment System
