Industrial and Heavy Wall PTFE Tubing
Parker manufactures PTFE tubing, the highest temperature, chemical and corrosion resistance of all the fluoropolymer tubing available, in standard industrial wall and heavy wall designs along with many custom sizes to application requirements. PTFE tubing is the best in temperature and chemical resistance Parker offers and is used in extreme environments.
A PTFE tube has a non-stick surface that facilitates flow and eliminates media buildup. In many cases, it is used to replace glass, rubber and stainless steel because of its chemical and corrosion resistance. In equipment applications, the vibration damping properties of PTFE are excellent at both sonic and ultrasonic frequencies.
Standard and Metric Series i.e. 101 & 201 PTFE tubing respectively, is natural but it is also available with a conductive I.D. or as a fully conductive tube to reduce static discharge. Parflex customer service can help you with selection for custom designs, sizes or colors.
