PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) tube is a high-performance fluid-conveying component manufactured from 100 % virgin PTFE resin. Its unique molecular structure endows it with outstanding flexibility, chemical inertness, and temperature stability, making PTFE tubes the preferred choice for critical fluid transfer in a wide range of industries.
One of the key advantages of PTFE tubes is their exceptional chemical resistance. They are virtually inert to all chemicals, acids, solvents, and bases, enabling safe transport of aggressive media in chemical, pharmaceutical, food-processing, petrochemical, and semiconductor applications. Moreover, PTFE tubes can operate continuously across an extreme temperature span, typically from –200 °C to +260 °C, without degradation or loss of mechanical integrity.
The low-friction, non-stick surface of PTFE minimizes pressure drop and prevents media adhesion, ensuring smooth, uncontaminated flow even with viscous or high-purity fluids. This attribute also simplifies cleaning and sterilization cycles, making PTFE tubing ideal for the stringent hygiene requirements of the food, beverage, and biopharm sectors.
PTFE tubes exhibit excellent dielectric properties and are therefore widely used as insulating sheaths for wiring in high-frequency, high-temperature electrical applications. They also offer superb flex fatigue resistance and kink resistance, allowing tight routing in confined spaces without compromising flow performance.
Another advantage is their inert, contaminant-free composition. PTFE tubes contain no plasticizers, fillers, or pigments, guaranteeing ultra-high purity and preventing extractables or leachables that could compromise sensitive processes.
Overall, PTFE tubes deliver outstanding fluid-handling performance, durability, and universal chemical compatibility, making them a reliable solution for demanding industrial, analytical, and life-science fluid systems.
