Teflon PTFE Tubing Thriving Solution of Various Electrical Applications

Since our childhood we are taught that iron and few materials are good conductors of electricity and therefore they are coated with plastic sheet which protect the human body from any kind of accident which might take place by touching the naked wires. Well, this application is applied on all types of electrical wires, equipments and appliances. But, have you ever tried to know that what material or plastic coating is used to cover the wires? An answer to this question is fluoropolymers or often referred of teflon PTFE tubing (polytefrafluoroethylene) system. The tubing system is blessed with versatile features and is used in not only the electronic applications but also for various kitchen accessories.

Teflon Tubing

The history of Teflon tubing system goes back to 1938 when it was developed by Dr. Roy Plunkett. The invention of tubing system revolutionized plastic industry to great extent and emerged as an utmost need of this industry.

The versatility of teflon PTFE tubing can be understood from the features like high temperature resistant, chemical resistant and insulating properties adhered in it. It is capable of operating smoothly in all types of conditions whether it is gaseous, liquids or high temperature. The major characters of the teflon tubing are categorized as below:
  • It has low coefficient of friction
  • Offers superior chemical and electrical protection to different products
  • Capable of operating smoothly under extreme temperature up-to 500°F and minimum temperature up-to -454°F
  • Offers superior release properties
  • FDA compliant and USP Class VI approved
  • AWG size varies from zero to 32.

Teflon PTFE Tubing: Applications and Benefits

PTFE tubing is the fluoropolymer which is used in many industrial applications to make the process smooth and effective. The tubing system used in different industries in different forms like as a spiral wrap in aerospace to cover the wiring, as a tubing in chemical industries and others. Because of the non-sticky nature of the teflon PTFE tubing, it can be used in the food industries to cover the rollers.

Here, we've presented an infographic representing the applications and benefits of the teflon PTFE tubing:
