Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is an engineered fluoropolymer, and has numerous applications. It has exceptional resistance to a wide variety of chemicals. PTFE Hose has increased resistance to vibration and flexing. PTFE Hose with a Polyurethane Jacket protects the stainless steel wire reinforcement against wear, fraying and contaminants.
PTFE hoses have exceptional chemical compatibility and handle temperatures as high as +450°F. PTFE Braided hoses are used in numerous applications including, but not limited to, chemical transfer lines, high temperature general hydraulics, and coolant lines. The PTFE core tube resists moisture and offers the lowest coefficient of friction of any known plastic, therefore minimizing pressure drops and deposits.
PTFE Hoses should be used when conveying non-conducting fluids such as oils, paints, fuels, or steam.
