Polytetrafluoroethylene or PTFE lined
marked tubes, also commonly known as Teflon is a wonderfully versatile
opaque plastic fluoropolymer; it is usually made by a method known as the
free-radical polymerization of many tetrafluoroethylene molecules and is suitable
for a wide range of applications in industries such as aerospace. But it uses are not limited to the aerospace
industry only, as it also serves food and
drink industry, pharmaceuticals and telecoms.
Properties of PTFE
Lined Marked Tube -which makes it
indispensable for most Industries
The melting point of PTFE is around 327°C, and the pure PTFE tube fittings are completely chemically inert, and insoluble in most solvents or chemicals, and it is temperature resistant and can be used between -200 degrees C and +260 degrees C without degrading.
Other properties of PTFE that set it apart from other tubes are its high flexural strength, which can stay put even under extremely low temperatures, dielectric strength and high electrical resistance to water and add to that low coefficient of friction. PTFE’s density is pretty high as well, at 2200 kg/m3 it seems pretty impressive.

The Advantages and Important Properties of PTFE
We know that PTFE is an extremely versatile pipe and the range
of applications and its use in a wide
number of industries is phenomenal.
The use of PTFE and its benefits can mostly be found in manufacturing and engineering, so it is not only about making tubes or liners for storing or transferring corrosive chemicals, but it also increases the shelf life of bearings or screws and also the machinery they are part of.
A PTFE-coated screw is resistant to corrosion, because of PTFE’s ability to repel oil and water, and lubricated by the material and enable it to smoothly drive into whatever surface it is fastened to. This helps in reduced friction and also less wear and tear on the screw and the surface, both and flaunts a longer-lasting secure finish.
The main factors with bearings are friction, and a PTFE coat can boast of similar benefits quite similar to coating screws of course also providing the additional advantage of the coating is heat-resistant.
A machine can be longer lasting and boasting of higher-performance parts can add to the efficiency of any machinery, will not require constant replacement of its essential parts, save money and also improve the time and efficiency as well as reducing waste, all thanks to quality PTFE lined tubes.

So, it will greatly reduce, or rule out, any expensive
manufacturing downtime due to any niggling faults or repairs.
The frequencies of cleaning of equipment can also be drastically reduced in some cases all because a PTFE coat is non-wetting, enables self-cleaning of certain parts.
Another great advantage of PTFE is that it is non-toxic and humans do not get affected by polymer fume fever if the temperature of any Teflon-coated pans reaches 260 degrees centigrade. The fact that it is also FDA approved and food-safe makes this material really advantageous to us.
