Description
This premium ultra thin wall PTFE tubing is engineered for demanding high-temperature and chemically aggressive environments. With a wall thickness of just 0.1 mm, it delivers exceptional flexibility and precision flow control, making it ideal where space is restricted and weight must be kept to an absolute minimum.
Designed for use in laboratories, electronics, medical devices, chemical processing lines and other high-specification systems, this PTFE tubing offers outstanding resistance to corrosion, solvents and heat. Available in a range of fine outside/inside diameters and convenient coil lengths, it is well suited to both prototyping and production-scale installations.
Product Features
- Ultra thin 0.1 mm wall PTFE construction for maximum flexibility and compact routing.
- Choice of outside/inside diameters from 0.4 mm to 0.8 mm, plus additional fine-bore options for precise flow control.
- Supplied in practical coil lengths from 0.2 m to 0.6 m, with longer coil options available to suit different installation runs.
- High-temperature performance suitable for continuous use in demanding thermal environments.
- Excellent chemical resistance to a broad range of acids, bases, solvents and process chemicals.
- Low-friction, smooth bore for improved flow characteristics and reduced risk of blockage.
- Available with selected performance options rated at 30 or 75 (e.g. pressure or temperature-related variants, depending on specification).
Key Features and Benefits
- Enables reliable operation in high-temperature systems, reducing the risk of tube degradation and unplanned downtime.
- Resists attack from aggressive chemicals, helping to maintain purity and consistency in sensitive processes.
- Fine diameter range supports accurate dosing, sampling and transfer of liquids and gases in precision applications.
- Very thin wall and flexible profile ease installation in tight spaces, around components and through complex assemblies.
- Low surface energy minimises product adhesion, aiding cleaning and reducing contamination between batches.
- Durable PTFE material offers a long service life, lowering replacement frequency and maintenance costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this ultra thin wall PTFE tubing be used with very aggressive chemicals?
Yes, PTFE offers excellent resistance to most acids, bases, solvents and other aggressive chemicals. Always check the specific chemical compatibility and operating conditions for your application against the detailed data before use.
Is the tubing suitable for continuous high-temperature operation?
The tubing is designed for high-temperature environments and can be used continuously at elevated temperatures within the stated performance rating. Ensure that the chosen variant (including any 30 or 75 option rating) matches your maximum operating temperature requirements.
How do I choose the correct diameter and coil length for my system?
Select the outside/inside diameter based on the required flow rate, connection size and allowable pressure drop in your system. Choose a coil length that comfortably covers the routing distance with a small allowance for bends and terminations, avoiding excessive slack that could kink or snag.
