When you look at heat shrink tubing, it seems just like any other type of polymer tubing. It’s flexible and seems simple to use. However, what you don’t know (or maybe you do) is the amount of engineering and chemistry that goes in to creating heat shrink tubing. From...

When it comes to transporting viscous liquids from one part of a facility to another, there isn’t a better option than PFA tubing. PFA is a lot similar to PTFE tubing in terms of characteristics and properties. But what’s the difference? And why do some laboratories...

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tubing is one of the most popular Teflon fluoropolymer tubing options. It is an original, so-called gold standard, first invented in 1940s. In contrast to the material’s popularity today, it was difficult to process PTFE a few decades...
