Description
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a high-performance, synthetic fluoropolymer characterized by its exceptional working temperature, low friction surface, high electrical resistance, and non-stick properties. With virtually total chemical resistance at temperatures up to 260°C, PTFE tubing is ideal for transporting various fluid chemicals and solvents.
This premium PTFE tubing is suitable for mechanical, electrical, and medical applications. The combination of low friction and high temperature resistance allows it to be utilized in applications such as sleeve bearings, push-pull cables, and non-stick roller covers. It also protects less resistant materials like glass and stainless steel in stirrers, thermometers, and probes while serving as insulation for electrical components in hot environments.
Please note: Coils may not be continuous lengths. If a continuous length is required, please specify this when ordering.
