Extruded PTFE Tubing – AWG (American Wire Gauge)

Polytetrafluoroethylene or Teflon PTFE tubing is the first and most common of the fluoropolymer products. Spaghetti tubing, or small-diameter PTFE tubing manufactured to AWG (American Wire Gauge) sizes, has the widest range of applications thanks to its high service temperature, superior chemical resistance, and insulating properties. With a clean smoothbore interior PTFE Tubing AWG or extruded PTFE tubing, you get a restriction-free flow. Tubing manufactured from PTFE resins has a low permeability to gases and liquids. PTFE is almost completely inert to chemical attack, but under special conditions, it can be affected by such substances as alkali metals and halogens. PTFE is a solid fluorocarbon and has a very high molecular weight that consists solely of carbon and fluorine. PTFE Tubing is hydrophobic which means water nor any water containing substances can wet the surface of PTFE.

Teflon PTFE Tubing AWG is heat-resistant to 500°F and is ETO (ethylene oxide) and autoclave sterilizable for repeat usage. Fluoropolymer tubing is considered a highly flexible tube, but the properties of PTFE tubing allow for it to have the best flex life out of all fluoropolymers.

Specifications : AMS3653 / AMS3654 / AMS3655 / M22129 are only used for sizing refrences only.

PTFE tubing is produced in three different wall sizes:              Standard wall, thin wall, and light wall (or lightweight wall)

PTFE temperature range: -454°F (–270°C) to 500°F (260°C)

PTFE offers excellent chemical & electrical product protection.

Biocompatible: USP Class VI and FDA compliant

Excellent crack and stress-resistance

Heat Shrinkable FEP Roll Covers 1.25:1

Heat Shrink FEP Roll Covers are specifically engineered to extend roller life and to eliminate roller build-up and picking. Shrinkable FEP Roll Covers are manufactured using a seamless FEP Tube and are used in a wide spectrum of industries, including textile, packing, printing, paper, photographic and food processing.

Various industries take advantage of Teflon FEP’s unique properties that include almost universal chemical resistance, zero moisture absorption, and the best anti-stick/release surface possible. Most materials will not adhere to FEP but even those that might “cling” to the surface can be wiped off with a damp cloth. Nothing will release adhesives and glues as well as FEP and no other surface prevents picking and build–up like FEP. Small Diameter FEP Roll Covers are great for preventing starch build-up on spray nozzles. FEP Roll Covers are manufactured from FDA approved resins which make them ideal for all food contact and processing.

Heat Shrinkable Teflon FEP Roll Covers are produced as a seamless tube with a .020-inch wall thickness for rollers ½ to 12 inches in diameter and lengths up to 10 feet. This unique process produces a cover with no surface imperfections and with significantly greater flex life, which is especially important on rubber rollers. For roll cover applications where high temperature and/or pressure are encountered, it is suggested that the cover be etched and bonded to the roller. Etching FEP Roll Covers allows you to bond to almost any roller subsurface except for rollers that are manufactured from 100 % silicone. Rollers produced from all silicone require a special primer to prep the surface for bonding.

For applications that see operating temperatures ranging over 400°F shrinkable Roll Covers made from PFA resins that help increase the maximum temperature range up to a continuous operating temperature of 500°F. Please allow us to to quote any projects that you may have for PFA Roll Covers or for sleeves with heavier walls such as .040 or .060 thick.

Standard sizes and lengths of Roll Covers are in stock and available for next day or even same day shipping.

Striped FEP Tubing

Color Trace FEP Tubing is a permanent color line that is embedded into the wall of FEP tubing and will not flake or peel off. Striped Tubing is used for identifying and isolating single lines in a bundle of clear FEP Tubes. Manufactured from FEP resins both the FEP Tubing and as well as the FEP stripe are chemically inert and able to with stand elevated temperatures up to 400°F.

Color Tracing relies on a simple yet eye catching stripe that has been impregnated into the tube which allows installers to run fluid transfer lines quickly and more importantly accurately. Tracking down clogs and blockages in lines is now easier, no more blurry vision when staring at a bundle of clear tubes. Striped Tubing helps you identify , isolate and solve problems in chemical transport lines.

Color Trace Tubing can be produced in several colors , such as red, blue, black, yellow, orange and purple and because it is manufactured from a melt process Color Trace tubes can be produces in long continuous lengths giving it an advantage over Striped PTFE Tubing.
