Teflon PTFE Tubes

Description

Teflon PTFE tubing, also known as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tubing, is a non-toxic, chemically inert, and transparent material with many uses:

• Temperature resistance: PTFE tubing can withstand high temperatures, up to 260°C.
• Chemical resistance: PTFE tubing is resistant to acids, alkalies, and organic solvents.
• Low friction: PTFE tubing has a low coefficient of friction, making it non-stick.
• Electrical insulation: PTFE tubing has a breakdown voltage of up to 100Kv/mm, making it ideal for electrical insulation.
• Weathering properties: PTFE tubing has excellent weathering properties.

PTFE tubing is used in many industries, including:

• Fluid transfer
• Cabling
• Heat-exchanger systems
• Water treatment
• Pump and paper
• Food and beverage
• Pharmaceutical

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), also known by the trade name Teflon, has many properties that make it useful in a variety of applications:

• Chemical resistance: PTFE is highly resistant to acids, alkalis, and organic solvents. It’s also chemically inert and insoluble in most chemicals.
• Thermal stability: PTFE is thermally stable and can be used between -200°C and +260°C without degrading. It has a melting point of around 327°C.
• Non-stick: PTFE has a low coefficient of friction and is non-stick.
• Weathering: PTFE has excellent weathering properties.
• Fire-retardant: PTFE is fire-retardant.
• Non-toxic: PTFE is non-toxic, odorless, and flavorless.
• UV resistant: PTFE is unaffected by UV.

PTFE tubing is used in a variety of applications, including:

• Chemical and general industry: PTFE is used in environments that involve aggressive fluids or chemicals.
• Medical applications: PTFE’s inertness makes it useful in medical applications.
• Bearings and bushings: PTFE tubes are used to reduce wear and tear on moving parts.
• Seals, gaskets, and o-rings: PTFE tubes are used to reduce the potential for leaks and spills
