What is a PTFE Hose?
A PTFE hose assembly is a hose lined with Teflon, also known as Polytetrafluoroethylene, with specific end connectors. Our comprehensive range of PTFE hose assemblies is made to meet the stringent temperature, pressure and vacuum service requirements found in food, pharmaceutical, medical, beverage petrochemical and dairy product applications. The PTFE compound offers unique properties which include excellent chemical resistance, high temperature resistance (from minus 60°C/76°F up to 260°C, 500°F), high working pressure rating (up to 552 bar) and a frictionless, easy clean surface.
PTFE hoses are available in smooth bore or convoluted bore PTFE with an assortment of grades, covers & end terminations. The compounds are manufactured from Daikin or DuPont granules in virgin or Anti-Static PTFE to FDA 21.CFR.177-1550 compliance.
