Key Features & Advantages
Unparalleled Chemical Inertness
Material: Made from 100% pure, high-grade PTFE.
Benefit: Completely resistant to virtually all aggressive chemicals, including strong acids (e.g., sulfuric, hydrochloric, nitric), concentrated alkalis, halogens, and organic solvents. This prevents connector degradation and fluid contamination.
Exceptional Performance in Extreme Temperatures
Operating Range: -200°C to +260°C.
Benefit: Maintains excellent flexibility and mechanical strength from cryogenic applications to high-temperature processes, outperforming most elastomers and plastics.
Ultra-High Purity & Non-Stick Properties
Surface: Extremely low surface energy (< 18.5 dynes/cm).
Benefit: Prevents adhesion of sticky media and allows for easy, complete draining or cleaning. It eliminates a major source of contamination and cross-contamination in sensitive processes.
Robust Mechanical Design
Pressure Rating: Suitable for working pressures up to 10 bar (145 psi) at 20°C, with derating considered for elevated temperatures.
Connection Types: Available with various end connections, including flanged, threaded (metric, NPT), or hose barb fittings, to ensure a leak-tight seal with your existing system.
Sizes: Standard reducing combinations from DN15/DN10 (½” x ⅜”) up to DN100/DN80 (4” x 3”). Custom sizes are available upon request.
Long-Term Reliability & Safety
Aging Resistance: Excellent resistance to UV radiation and weathering, ensuring long service life.
Safety Compliance: Conforms to relevant industry standards for material purity and pressure equipment.
