Plain PTFE Hose, commercially called Teflon Hose Pipe, is a fluoropolymer of unique properties which is widely used in various products and branches of industry.
Hoses are manufactured not only from PTFE but also from other similar fluoropolymers, such as FEP, PFA, MFA, ETFE, ECTFE. They feature better mechanical resistance and different processing properties.
PTFE Hose and similar fluoropolymers are used in all sectors of the industry e.g. for steam, hot oil, fuel, paint, adhesives, high-pressure gas transfer. In the chemical industry, they are used for loading and unloading acids, bases, organic solvents, and very aggressive chemicals. Its assemblies ensure highly hygienic transfer and perfectly suit food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical industry, and biotechnology.
Fittings intended for hoses are specially adjusted to be assembled in it. Sometimes hydraulic fittings or fittings for industrial hoses can be also assembled.
When some substances are conveyed in a Plain PTFE hose, electrostatic charges may build up in the hose wall. In order to avoid the problem of static electricity, an antistatic version of PTFE with lower electrical resistance is recommended.
