                Fluoropolymer Tubing



    Tubing   Fluoropolymer  Fluoropolymer tubing features a low coefficient of friction and anti-stick properties, high temperature
                capabilities and the most corrosion and chemical resistance of all polymers. Within normal use tem-
    B           peratures, fluoropolymers are attacked by so few chemicals that it is easier to describe the exceptions
                rather than list the chemicals they are compatible with (see Chemical Resistance Summary, pg. B-54).
                These chemically inert tubes are non-wetting and non-leaching, making them ideal for a wide range of
                fluid and material handling applications.

                Parker fluoropolymer tubing is available in PTFE, FEP, PFA and PVDF with some materials
                operating at temperatures up to 500°F (260°C). Each material has specific dominant characteristics,
    Coiled Air Hose   & Fittings  but all operate in high-temperature, corrosive environments.



                 compliant to FDA regulation 21 CFR 177.1550, making these products suitable for use in food and
    C             ƒ Parflex PTFE, FEP, PFA and PVDF tubing complies with European Standard RoHs and are also FDA
                 beverage applications.
                  ƒ Parflex PTFE, FEP and PFA are listed VW-1 in the burning test for Underwriters Laboratories and pass
                 the UL-83 vertical flame test. In a flame situation, PTFE, FEP and PFA tubing resist combustion and do
                 not promote flame spread.

     Transportation  All fluoropolymer tubing dimensions are continuosly monitored to ensure an overall quality product.
                  Most tubing sizes are packaged in convenient 25-ft., 50-ft., 100-ft. and 1,000-ft. lengths.

                  PTFE
                     ƒ PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) is offered in beading, smoothbore tubing, heat shrinkable, spiral wrap and
                    convoluted tubing.
     Fittings        ƒ PTFE tubing features unmatched chemical resistance and a non-stick surface that facilitates flow
                    and eliminates media buildup.
    E
                  FEP
                     ƒ FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) is available in smoothbore tubing, heat shrinkable, convoluted,
                    corrugated and retractable coil tubing.
                     ƒ FEP tubing offers the highest clarity in the fluoropolymer market and is a close second to PTFE in
                    chemical resistance.
    Tooling, Equipment   & Accessories    ƒ FEP is available in long, continuous lengths (1,000 feet and longer) whereas the longest lengths for PTFE
                    range from 200 to 1,000 feet depending on size and wall thickness.



    F             PFA
                     ƒ PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy) is available in smoothbore tubing.
                     ƒ When temperature and clarity are both factors, PFA is the resin of choice because it offers the high-
                    temperature attributes of PTFE, long continuous lengths, and almost as much clarity as FEP.
                     ƒ High purity resins available.
     General Technical       ƒ Low permeability.
