Overview
PTFE tube (polytetrafluoroethylene tube), also known as Teflon tube, is made from suspended polymerized PTFE resin through molding and high-temperature sintering. This unique production method ensures the tubing has excellent physical stability, superior chemical resistance, and reliable performance even under harsh working conditions.
Features
-
Manufactured by molding process using high-purity suspended PTFE resin
-
Exceptional chemical resistance against strong acids, alkalis, and organic solvents
-
Excellent electrical insulation performance suitable for high-frequency applications
-
Very low friction coefficient, ensuring smooth surface and strong anti-adhesion properties
-
Wide temperature resistance range, maintaining performance from -200°C to +260°C
-
Non-toxic and non-aging, making it ideal for clean or high-purity environments
Applications
PTFE tubes are widely used across multiple industries, including:
-
Electrical and electronic industry: wire and cable insulation sleeves, high-frequency insulation parts
-
Chemical and pharmaceutical industry: corrosion-resistant fluid pipelines and containers
-
Mechanical and industrial systems: seals, bearings, and non-stick parts under extreme conditions
-
Aerospace and automotive sectors: fluid and gas transmission in high-temperature environments
