Advantages and Features of FEP Tubing

Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene referred as FEP tubing system is one of the highly preferred materials used for protecting cables and wires of small diameter. The tubing system is highly preferred in applications which require transmission of explosive chemicals and electronic current at high temperature. The tubing system is not only used in chemical and electrical industries and applications but also constitute an important part of operations in gaseous industries because of its excellent vaporizing efficiency and superb UV transmission functionalities.

The versatility of FEP Tubing can be understood from fact where other tubing systems are used depending upon their specific requirement, this type of fluoropolymer tubing system can be used in varied activities by different industries. And therefore, the tubing is offered in different shapes and sizes depending upon the requirement of specific industry. Another interesting and hidden feature of FEP is that apart from plastic this tubing, it is also available in coil format and constitutes an important part of materials used for various appliances used in our day to day activities for instance air conditioners, heaters, hair dryers etc.

The major properties of FEP Tubing system are referred below:

1. Non flammable;
2. Superior thermal functionality;
3. Chemical and high temperature resistance;
4. Available in convoluted, heat shrinkable and coiled format;
5. Non sticky;
6. Developed 100% virgin resins;
7. FDA compliant; and
8. Low permeability.

Advantages offered by FEP Tubing:

1. Because of its non moisturizing nature heat shrink FEP tubing is easy to clean and is occupies an important place in operations performed in food processing industries;
2. The tubing system is identical for use in different atmospheric conditions where it is not possible to make use of plastic tubes;
3. Because of its flexible nature this tubing system can be easily installed on different applications without any discomfort.
