PTFE Hose
Fluoropolymers are some of the most versatile
engineering materials known and, since their discovery over 60 years
ago, have been used in nearly every field of modern industry,
technology, and science. Their non-stick properties became commonly
recognized by the consuming public when E. I. DuPont began marketing his
¡°Teflon?¡± brand product for use on cookware, as a fiber treatment for
stain resistance, and in other household applications.
Fluoropolymer material is recognized for its excellent resistance to
heat ¡ª up to 500¡ãF continuously. Lesser known is its usefulness in
extremely cold temperatures ¡ª well below -200¡ãF. It will remain
reasonably flexible to -110¡ãF.
Because fluoropolymers are almost universally inert to industrial
chemicals and solvents, their use for corrosion protection has become
one of their largest growth areas. With few exceptions, fluoropolymer
tubing can handle virtually any corrosive chemical in use today.
