Tubing, Hose & Fittings

Polypropylene is a tough, heat-resistant tubing, ideal for the transfer of hot liquids or gases. It is recommended for vacuum systems and applications where higher temperatures and pressures are encountered. It has excellent resistance to acids and alkalies., but poor resistance to aromatic, aliphatic and chlorinated solvents. Raw materials used in its manufacture meet requirements set by the FDA. The natural color of the tubing is semi-opaque white. Not recommended for use outdoors, or for exposure to UV light.

Teflon® PTFE Tubing has superior chemical resistance and is extremely well suited for use in laboratory, chemical, electrical, pharmaceutical and mechanical applications. Teflon® is chemically inert, non-toxic and virtually non-porous. Teflon® tubing is ideal for applications requiring low coefficient of friction which results in a slippery and non-clogging characteristic. Teflon® tubing may be sterilized by autoclave, ethylene oxide or dry heat.

Max Operating temperature 550°F and a low temperature limit of -400°F

FEP is a fluoropolymer with excellent physical and chemical properties. It can withstand low cryogenic temperatures, and has low porosity and low permeation. Chemically inert at extreme temperatures, FEP can operate in temperatures ranging from -450°F to +400°F. FEP’s transparency and weatherability make it ideal for use in sight gauges, especially when used with harsh chemicals.

PFA’s stress-crack resistance, excellent electrical properties and temperatureresistant properties make it ideal for use in cable coating, valve and pump linings, and insulating bushings. PFA, which can operate in temperatures ranging from -320°F to + 500°F, is chemically inert and virtually non-porous. Used in any application with high heat and chemical requirements, PFA’s non-stick characteristics promote ease of movement of viscous, aggressive compounds, and prevent binding of proteins.
