as many applications throughout

industry. The unique properties of PTFE and the other

fluoroplastics allow the tubing to solve problems possible with no

other material.

CHEMICAL

Virtually total chemical resistance at temperatures up to 260 C

mean that tubing can handle the transport of all fluid chemicals and

solvents, as small sizes such as in automatic laboratory analysis

equipment to 1000mm diameter linings in process plant. Tubing

can also be used to protect less resistant materials such as glass

or stainless steel on stirrers, thermometer probes and vat heaters.

MECHANICAL

The combination of low friction and temperature resistance allows

fluoroplastic tubing to be used in applications such as sleeve

bearings, push-pull cables, non-stickroller covering etc.

ELECTRICAL

Due to the excellent dielectric and other properties combined, thin

wall tubing finds many unique applications in electric and

electronic engineering. Insulation of connections in hot

environments such as toasters, soldering irons etc., in very high

voltage sleeving, and in miniature components on PC boards

where it is unaffected by the high soldering temperature.

MEDICAL

Inert, non-toxic and bio-compatible properties are sought after by

medical device manufacturers. Our tubing finds applications as

intravenous catheters, catheter introducers, angiographic

catheters etc.
