Description
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a high-performance, synthetic fluoropolymer known for its ability to withstand very high working temperatures and its low friction surface. This material offers exceptional electrical resistance and non-stick characteristics, making it ideal for a variety of applications.
The PTFE tubing is specifically designed for the transport of all fluid chemicals and solvents due to its virtually total chemical resistance, even at temperatures reaching up to 260°C. This makes it a versatile choice in numerous fields, including mechanical, electrical, and medical sectors.
Utilizing PTFE tubing can significantly enhance the performance of applications such as sleeve bearings, push-pull cables, and non-stick roller covers. Additionally, it serves to protect more vulnerable materials like glass and stainless steel on equipment such as stirrers, thermometers, and probes, while also functioning as insulation for electrical components in high-temperature environments.
