PTFE teflon tubing is commonly referred to as Teflon tubing. Teflon refers to three fluoropolymer plastic resins: PTFE, FEP, and PFA. These three plastics share common properties such as lubricity, chemical resistance, high temperature resistance and more. There are slight mechanical differences that make each tube uniquely suited for different applications.

Properties of Teflon PTFE Tubing Very Lubricious - Lowest coefficient of friction of any polymer Working temperature range 500° F (270° C) to -454° F (–270° C) Chemically Resistant (all common solvents, acids and bases) Without pressure heat resistant to 270°C Chemically Inert Excellent Dielectric Insulation Properties PTFE is extremely abrasion resistant PTFE also has excellent flame resistance due to its extremely high melting point
