PTFE HOSE ASSEMBLIES, PTFE HOSE & FITTINGS
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) was discovered in 1938 by DuPont scientist Dr. Roy Plunkett. PTFE is a plastic resin in the Fluorocarbon group.
PTFE hoses are ideal problem solver for fluid transfer applications involving aggressive chemicals, extremes of temperature/movement or where hygiene is paramount.
Chemical Resistance
The PTFE Hose liner is virtually inert to all chemicals and solvents. It is resistant to fuming Sulphuric and Nitric acids, Amines, Antioxidants and Methanol. It is only known to react with elemental Alkali metals (molten or in solution), Fluorine and Chlorine Trifluoride.
