Featured Products

PTFE Tubing
Extruded PTFE tubing can be used in harsh environments. The tubing is suitable for protecting wiring and transporting fluids where a chemically inert and nonflammable material is required. Plain, corrugated, and convoluted styles of tubing are offered extruded from TFE, FEP, and PFA to achieve varying degrees of flexibility and kink resistance.



Paratubing
Fluoroplastic paratubing consists of two to four tubes longitudinally thermally welded to create one conduit of multiple, individual tubes. Paratubing is designed to run several fluid lines as one entity and then split them up for branching to different connectors.



Chemical-Resistant Tubing
Tubing products that are extruded from TexFluor PTFE, FEP, PFA, or MFA are chemical resistant. The tubing can be used in material-handling applications such as delivery systems. The tubes feature a low coefficient of friction and have antistick properties.
