Product Infomation:
PFA Tubing (Perfluoroalkoxy) offers excellent crack and stress resistance and is used when more demanding mechanical characteristics are required. PFA Tubing is the product of choice for applications involving extreme chemical resistance combined with high temperature exposure. PFA Tubing is preferred when additional clarity, flexibility, and a higher continuous service temperature are required. PFA Tubing provides stiffness and long flex-life (up to 500º F) and has all the general properties of PTFE.
In the semiconductor and pharmaceutical industries, PFA HP (High Purity) Tubing is used for fluid handling applications requiring an extremely low level of chemical extractables.
PFA Tubing Offers:
Higher thermal stability than FEP
Working temperature of up to 500º F (260º C)
Non-flammable
Lower permeability than FEP
Combines attributes of PTFE and FEP
Translucent
Maintains mechanical strength at high temperatures
Moisture absorption close to zero
Superior high purity properties
Availabe in coiled hose and convoluted constructions
FDA compliant for food contact
Suitable for use with flare or conventional fittings
Products Infomation: FEP Tubing Used in applications ranging from environmental monitoring equipment to medical applications and electronics applications.forbest manufacturing manufactures a wide range of custom and stock sizes of FEP tubing. PTFE Tubing FEP Tubing is most referred to under the name "PTFE Tubing". PTFE is actually three different polymer resins: FEP, PTFE, and PFA. Applications Applications where FEP tubing is chosen usually require more clarity, flexibility or a lower heat shrinkable temperature than PTFE. Advantages of FEP Tubing Lower heat shrink temperature than PTFE More flexible than PTFE More optically clear than PTFE More lubricious than PFA
