Extruded Smoothbore PTFE Tubing • Industrial Wall .030
Extruded PTFE tubing (polytetrafluoroethylene) is a fluorocarbon based polymer with multiple carbon flourine bonds. Fluoropolymers are characterized by their high resistance to solvents, acids, and bases. Teflon tubing as it is more commonly known, was the first and most common of these fluoropolymer products.
Industrial wall PTFE tubing has the widest range of applications thanks to its high service temperature, superior chemical resistance, and insulating properties. With a clean smoothbore interior, PTFE tubing allows for a restriction-free flow. PTFE tubing has a low permeability to gases and liquids. PTFE is almost completely inert to chemical attack, but under special conditions, it can be affected by such substances as alkali metals and halogens. PTFE tubing is heat-resistant to 500°F and is ETO (ethylene oxide) and autoclave sterilizable for repeat usage. Fluoropolymer tubing is considered a highly flexible tube, but the properties of PTFE tubing allow for it to have the best flex life out of the group.
- PTFE Tubing has the lowest coefficient of friction of all known solid materials.
- Fits both Standard Compression and Barbed Fittings.
- Temperature : –454°F (–270°C) to 500°F (260°C)
- Excellent chemical & electrical protection.
- Recommended for fluid handling applications.
- Approved for use in food contact applications in compliance with FDA regulation: 21 CFR 177.1550
- USP Class VI approved

High Quality Extruded Teflon Tubing
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is an engineered fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene that has various applications. The best realized and most common brand name of PTFE is “Teflon” by DuPont Company. PTFE is hydrophobic: neither water nor water-containing substances wet PTFE. PTFE has one of the lowest coefficients of friction against any known solid.
Tef-Cap Industries is the leading provider of high quality extruded Teflon tubing. We offer a wide range of standard and customized products that provide ultimate endurance, making them highly applicable even in the harshest of industrial environments.
