PTFE Tubing

Chemically resistant, low coefficient of friction, with a broad temperature range -454°F to 500°F

PTFE tubing is often the first choice for many advanced applications due to its superior lubricity, temperature and chemical resistance, biocompatibility and precision tolerances. It has an extremely low coefficient of friction and possesses a broad temperature range, allowing it to excel equally in extreme cold and hot environments.

Zeus® PTFE Tubing– is available in a variety of sizes and operating pressures. PTFE tubing is chemically resistant, has a low coefficient of friction, and broad temperature range from 500°F (260°C) to -454°F (–270°C).
