Why Teflon PTFE is Preferred in Industrial Operations ?

The best way to understand features and properties of anything is to search for illustrations that exist around you or in other words it can also be said that the best way to understand anything is to go through those activities and equipments that you use in your day to day activities.
Therefore to understand the working and functioning of Teflon PTFE Tubing system you need not have to browse any search engine nor consult any reference book or any other source. Just have a look of screw driver at your home you will notice the front side with metal is covered with a type of tubing system or in simple words coated with a plastic. This is what you were searching for, surprised? yes this covering is made of Teflon. The main objective of this coating is to protect human from any kind of electronic current which one might face by touching the naked portion of metal. Well, it is just a small illustration of this versatile tubing system, because it has proved to be an important source of operation in various industries and applications.


Developed by making user of polytetrafluoroethylene consisting mixture of carbon and fluorine the emergence of this tubing system was not less than a boon for plastic industry. The dielectric property of Teflon PTFE Tubing makes it highly preferred item of working in electrical industry. Moving ahead, because of its non-sticky nature it also occupies an important place in chemical industries where extreme chemicals are transferred through these tubes.
The major features of this tubing system can summed as follows:
  • ·       Capable of operating under extreme temperature going high up 260°C (500°F);
  • ·       Non sticky and therefore easy to clean;
  • ·       Chemical resistance;
  • ·       Low coefficient of friction and
  • ·       Aging resistance.
