FLUOROPOLYMER
Fluoropolymers are some of the most versatile engineering materials known and, since their discovery over 70 years ago, have been used in nearly every field of modern industry, technology, and science. Their non-stick proper-ties became commonly recog-nized 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 — up to 500°F continuously. Lesser known is its usefulness in extremely cold temperatures.
Fluoropolymer will remain reasonably flexible to -100°F.

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 inuse today.
FLUOROPOLYMER TUBING
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.
PTFE’s translucent white color will vary naturally from lot to lot, however the quality and physical properties do not change. FEP and PFA are clearer and can be heat sealed and heat bonded.
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.
