PTFE Tube

PTFE tube  is renowned for its outstanding chemical resistance and ability to perform across a wide temperature range. Its low friction surface makes it ideal for food-grade applications. The material offers excellent thermal stability and electrical insulation, though it is not suited for abrasive wear and can be challenging to bond. Additionally, it effectively resists hot water and UV exposure.

Typical Uses

Commonly applied in slide bearings, electrical insulators, and rollers.

Key Features

• Operates between -200°C and +250°C.
• Exceptional sliding and anti-stick characteristics.
• Highly resistant to chemicals and ultraviolet light.
• Maintains integrity under extreme temperatures.
• Certified for food contact applications.

Standards & Approvals

• Meets EC No. 1935/2004 - 10/2011 standards for plastics in contact with food.
• Compliant with FDA regulations 21 CFR 177.1550 for food safety.
• WRAS approved for potable water use up to 85°C.
• Achieves UL94 V-0 rating, ensuring self-extinguishing properties.

Availability

We also offer modified TFM PTFE upon request. This variant features reduced deformation under load, enhanced resistance to permeation thanks to a denser polymer matrix, improved weldability, superior stress recovery, smoother finishes, and greater transparency. Please be aware that TFM PTFE availability may be limited and subject to lead times.
