Description
This premium high-performance PTFE metric tubing is engineered for demanding fluid and gas transfer applications where chemical resistance, cleanliness and reliability are critical. Manufactured from virgin PTFE, it offers an exceptionally smooth, low-friction bore that helps maintain flow rates and reduce the risk of build-up or contamination.
Available in a wide range of popular metric sizes and coil lengths, this flexible PTFE tubing is ideal for use in laboratories, chemical processing plants, pharmaceutical production, food and beverage environments, and general industrial installations. Its broad operating temperature range and excellent resistance to aggressive media make it a versatile choice for both OEMs and maintenance engineers.
Product Features
- Metric outside/inside diameter options including 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm and 10 mm to suit a variety of fittings and flow requirements.
- Supplied in convenient coil lengths from 1 m, 2 m, 2.5 m, 2.7 m and 3 m, plus additional longer lengths for production or OEM use.
- High-performance PTFE construction for outstanding chemical resistance against a wide range of acids, alkalis, solvents and corrosive fluids.
- Exceptionally low-friction internal surface to minimise pressure loss and reduce the risk of blockages or product adherence.
- Flexible, yet dimensionally stable tubing suitable for routing in confined spaces while maintaining consistent internal diameter.
- Available in multiple standard pack quantities such as 25, 30, 50 and 100 to suit both small-scale projects and bulk requirements.
- Suitable for use across a broad temperature range, making it ideal for both chilled and elevated temperature media.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this PTFE tubing suitable for use with strong acids and solvents?
Yes, PTFE offers excellent resistance to most strong acids, alkalis and many common industrial solvents. However, it is always advisable to confirm chemical compatibility with your specific media and operating conditions before use.
Can the tubing be used at both very low and high temperatures?
PTFE tubing is suitable for a wide temperature range, from well below freezing up to elevated process temperatures. The exact limits will depend on system pressure, support, and safety requirements, so always check your application parameters during system design.
How do I choose the correct diameter and coil length for my installation?
Select the inside diameter based on your required flow rate, acceptable pressure drop and the fittings you intend to use. The outside diameter must match your connectors or ferrules. Choose the closest coil length that covers your routing with minimal waste, allowing a small allowance for bends and connection points.
