PTFE Tube

The PTFE tube is resistant to most chemicals and solvents and can operate at both high and low temperatures. It also has a very low coefficient of friction, making it popular in food contact applications. It has strong thermal and electrical characteristics, however, it is not ideal for wear applications and is difficult to bind. It is also resistant to hot water and UV rays.

Applications

Slide bearings, insulators and rollers.

Key Features

• Temperature: -200°C up to +260°C (+260°C short term).
• Very good sliding properties and anti-adhesive.
• Excellent resistance to chemicals and UV.
• Outstanding resistance to low and high temperatures.
• Food approved.

Standards

• Complies with EC No. 1953/2004 and EC No. 10/2011 for plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food.
