What is PTFE Tubing?
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tubing is a type of fluoropolymer tubing that is well-known for its remarkable combination of chemical resistance, high-temperature capabilities, low friction, and excellent electrical insulation properties. PTFE is a synthetic polymer composed of carbon and fluorine atoms, and it is often referred to by the brand name "Teflon®," which is associated synonymously with this material.
Used in industries such as; food and beverage, the cosmetic industry, pharmaceutical and chemical.
- Food handling and production
- Petrochemical and specialist chemical transfer
- Bottle filling
- Beverage service and production
- Conveyance of cosmetic products
- Production and processing of dairy products
- Water transfer
Key features of PTFE Tubing
- Compatible with most chemicals
- Non-flammable and electrically insulating
- Anti-stick properties and easy to clean
- Wide temperature ranges from -270°c to +260°c
PTFE Tubing has a high chemical resistance, low and high temperature capability and precision extruded tolerances required in food and pharmaceutical operations.
The PTFE tubing is thin-walled smoothbore tubing manufactured from a virgin polytetrafluoroethylene resin. Our range of PTFE tubing is non-flammable and can withstand a temperature range between -270°c to + 260°c and is suitable for multiple fluid transfer applications. In addition to high flow rates enabled by the smooth-bore tube, the PTFE Tubing can be used within a wide range of industries as stated previously.
