Product information
Product data
Construction / Material
| Type of construction | extruded hose without metal spiral |
| Execution of the wall | made of highly abrasion-resistant material, made of a material with the best mechanical properties of all fluorine-containing plastics, made of a material that is insensitive to stress corrosion cracking, made of a material with a low coefficient of friction, made of a material with dielectric properties, made of a material with high impact strength, manufactured from a homopolymer of VF2 (vinylidene fluoride) or alternatively a copolymer with HFP (hexafluoropropylene) or CTFE (chlorotrifluoroethylene) or alternatively also from copolymer blends, made from a self-lubricating material |
| Material of the wall | partially fluorinated plastic PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) |
| Specifications of the wall | fire resistance/non flammable (UL 94: V0) |
Properties
| Chemical Properties | good resistance to chemicals, good UV resistance, weather-resistant, non wetting, chemical inertness, good resistance to corrosive chemicals, good resistance to solvents |
| Physical Properties | iow permeation, low surface energy, excellent resistance to high-energy radiation |
| Pressure Resistance | very pressure resistant |
| Colour | transparent to translucent (depending on wall thickness) |
| Other | non stick/self cleaning, non-toxic, resistance to harsh environment |

* 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 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).
