PTFE Convoluted Tubing

About PTFE Convoluted Tubing

PTFE convoluted tubing is produced using a modified grade of standard PTFE (PolyTetraFluoroEthylene) offering the advantage of excellent flex-life performance compared to most other fluoropolymers together with greatly improved stress crack resistance.

Containing fewer pinhole voids than standard material, PTFE convoluted tubing benefits from much lower permeation making it an excellent choice for the transport of fine chemicals and very ‘searching’ gases such as chlorine.
