PTFE Fluoropolymer Tubing
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) a fluorocarbon-based polymer, is a resin supplied in powdered form, which is mixed, preformed, and extruded into a paste, and then finally tubing. PTFE tubing can be used in a wide variety of applications due to its high chemical resistance, high and low temperature capability, resistance to weathering, electrical and thermal insulation, gas and vapor permeability properties and lowest coefficient of friction of any solid material. PTFE’s translucent white color will vary naturally from lot to lot, however the quality and physical properties do not change.
Almost totally inert, Fluoropolymer tubing can be used with virtually all industrial solvents, chemicals, and corrosive materials, even at elevated temperatures. It does, however, react with fluorine, molten sodium hydroxide, and molten alkali metals.
Fluoropolymer tubing can be steam or chemically sterilized in-line with any industrial cleaner, solvent, or sterilizing method.
Fluoropolymer’s non-stick property allows transport of viscous, sticky materials without line clogging. It also offers outstanding aging resistance.
Permanent color striping, etching, and longer-than-listed lengths are available through minimum order. Polyethylene-jacketed, thin-wall fluoropolymer tubing, for low-cost purity, is also available through minimum order — call for details.

NOTE: Values listed are typical for the material used in manufacture, except where noted, and are meant only as a guide to aid in design. Field testing should be performed to find the actual values for your application.
Cut Pieces – When tubing comes in, for example, 100 foot coils, and you need it in 10’ sections, tubing can be cut. Request a quote.
Size – Tubing is stocked in common I.D. and O.D. sizes, but this product can be custom extruded in other sizes. Let’s talk about what you need. Minimum quantities apply.
Color – Have your tubing colored to match equipment, company colors, or identify line (hot or cold, indoor or outdoor, chemicals, etc..).
All custom products are subject to minimum order quantities and lead times. For other custom options, please contact us.

Sold by standard coil length only.
Working pressures are calculated from burst testing using a 4:1 safety factor. Application testing is recommended.
Add length suffix to part number when ordering. Example: 100 ft. of 1/32” ID x 1/16” OD tubing is part number 3000074-100.
NOTE: Orders for 50 ft. lengths of PTFE tubing may be filled with
a maximum of two lengths of product totaling 50 ft. Orders for
100 ft. lengths of PTFE tubing may be filled with a maximum of
three lengths of product totaling 100 ft.
ID is the critical dimension for fittings application.
