PTFE Tube

PTFE tube has excellent resistance to most chemicals and solvents and is capable of operating at high and low temperatures. It also has a very low coefficient of friction and is commonly used in food contact applications. It provides good thermal stability and has good electrical properties, but is not suitable for wear applications and is difficult to bond. It also has good resistance to hot water and UV.

Availability

We can also supply modified TFM PTFE if required. TFM PTFE offers lower deformation under load, lower permeation due to a denser polymer structure, better weldability, improved stress recovery, smoother surface finishes and higher transparency. Please note that TFMPTFE may be subject to lead times and availability.
