Product information
Product data
Construction / Material
| Type of construction | extruded hose without metal spiral |
| Material of the wall | fully fluorinated plastic PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), sintered material |
| Material properties | heat- and steam-resistant material, non-toxic material‚ physiologically harmless, material with excellent non-stick properties, FDA and USP Class VI compliant types available, Food compliant (FDA/EU...) depending on type |
| Specifications of the wall | non-flammable (UL 94: V0) |
| Product Advantages | suitable as a thermal and electrical insulator in electronic applications, reduced stress crack with longer service life, good weldability‚ depending on type, optimal residue emptying (no residue left behind), tubes are autoclavable or steam sterilisable |
Properties
| Chemical Properties | very good resistance to chemicals, good UV resistance, weather-resistant, non wetting, chemical inertness, good resistance to corrosive chemicals, good resistance to solvents |
| Mechanical Properties | high mechanical strength and surface hardness, material is resistant to stress corrosion cracking, friction-reducing‚ self-lubricating material, very low sliding and static friction expressed by a low coefficient of friction, lowest coefficient of friction of all fluoroplastics |
| Physical Properties | iow permeation, low surface energy, good dielectric properties |
| Colour | other colours available according to the RAL colour chart, naturally milky white‚ translucent |
| Other | resistance to harsh environment |
Operating Temperature
| Temperature Range | -200 to 260 °C |
Delivery Information
| Delivery, type of production | coils 50/100 m‚ cut lengths‚ ppools‚ lengths on request, wide range of standard dimensions available from stock, larger dimensions are supplied in rolls as standard, other dimensions or tolerances available at short notice on request, tubes in accordance with AWG standard (American Wire Gauge)‚ sizes AWG 30 to AWG 10‚ supplied on plastic spools, we generally supply hoses with an external diameter of less than 2‚00 mm on plastic reels |
Supply variants
The minimum bending radius specifications for our tubings are partly theoretical and represent typical values at 23 °C. The specifications are provided for comparison purposes only and do not represent guaranteed properties. They must be verified by the user. | The burst pressure specifications for our tubings are partly theoretical and are based on the unit bar at ** The burst pressure specifications for our tubings are partly theoretical and are based on the unit bar at a room temperature of 23 °C. The values are used for product comparison purposes, but do not represent guaranteed properties of our products. Pressure resistance decreases as temperatures rise. For safe operation, we recommend maintaining at least three times the safety margin (max. operating pressure = ambient pressure at the corresponding operating temperature /3).
