Convoluted PTFE has been part of the
industrial applications and not without good reason. It provides solutions for
problems such as weight, vibration, corrosion, friction, aging, moisture and
temperature.
PTFE convoluted tubing is made using a
standard PTFE or using a more modified grade of standard PTFE. This offers a
more flex-life performance when it is
compared to other fluoropolymers together, this also offers more improved
stress crack resistance.
It also contains fewer pinhole voids than
the standard material. PTFE convoluted tubing offers less permeation and hence
it is a great choice for transporting
fine chemicals and ‘searching’ gases such as chlorine.
What
are the Features & Benefits of Convoluted Tubing
Its size ranges from 3mm ID to 33mm ID. It
is available in colors such as natural and black. It also comes with cuffs to
allow the fittings to be attached. Its temperature ranges from -200°C to +260°C. It maintains the
flexibility and its integrity thanks to its supreme ability to operate in a wide
temperature range.It offers other facilities such as low
permeability, resistance against aging, & great friction coefficiency.
It is produced without any plasticisers and
hence does not contaminate the item it conveys.
It boasts of non-stick properties too that
helps carry a different kind of materials such as sticky materials.
It offers Chemical Resistance
The material is inert and hence can be
easily used with other industrial chemicals and solvents. It can handle any
kinds of corrosive materials.
The smooth material helps the wires slide in easily for installation.
It is available in either rigid Standard
Flex for straighter runs and in the Extra Flexible variety for more complex
runs. It is particularly suitable for automotive,
military, aerospace and other applications.
This typ[e of tubing delivers tremendous
performance as it manages cables in hostile environments. It combats extreme
heat, moisture, abrasion, and other
chemicals. This tubing is a perfect match for high-performance
vehicles. This modifies PTFE tube has the added advantage of increased flexibility and versatility as it transports
liquids and gases in a number of industries such as chemical and food or drug
industries. The application of these tubes are not one but many and varied,
Check out some of the more important applications.
