What's the Difference?

What's the Difference?

 N/A FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) resin is pelletized for its hot-melt extrusion process. FEP tubing is known for its gas and vapor permeability properties and excellent UV transmission ratings. While very similar in composition to PTFE, there are a few notable differences. FEP has a lower heat shrink temperature and is clearer and more flexible than PTFE.

Note

Note

 N/A Made in U.S.A.

Almost totally inert, FLUOROPOLYMER tubing can be used with virtually all industrial solvents, chemicals, and corrosive materials, even at elevated temperatures. It does, however, react with fluorine, molten sodium hydroxide, and molten alkali metals.

FLUOROPOLYMER tubing can be steam or chemically sterilized in-line with any industrial cleaner, solvent, or sterilizing method.

FLUOROPOLYMER’s non-stick property allows transport of viscous, sticky materials without line clogging. It also offers outstanding aging resistance.

PTFE's translucent white color will vary naturally from lot to lot, however the quality and physical properties do not change. FEP and PFA are clearer and can be heat sealed and heat bonded.

Permanent color striping, etching, and longer-than-listed lengths are available through minimum order. Polyethylene jacketed, thin-wall fluoropolymer tubing, for low-cost purity, is also available through minimum order - call for details.

All FEP lengths are supplied in single-section packages.

BOLD indicates the critical dimension for fittings application.
  • 1 Sold by standard coil length only.
  • 2 Working pressures are calculated from burst testing using a 3:1 safety factor. Application testing is recommended.
