PTFE/PFA Thin wall hoses

Technical specifications

Standard product range consists of a set of thin wall tubes made by using natural PTFE raw material. Inside diameter: from 1 mm to 25 mm. Wall thickness: from 0,5 mm to 3,0 mm. Length: based on diameter and wall thickness. For market most requested diameters, standard length coils are supplied: from 25 meters to 50 and 100 meters. Owing to state of the art technology plants is able to produce, for some diameters, coils with lengths that can vary from 150 to 1,000 meters..

Industrial sectors

Fluid, gas and other materials transport industry; Electronic and electrical industry; Automotive and motorcycle industry; Semiconductor industry; Generic industry.

Upon request can produce TWT with custom specifications such as: diameter and tolerance as requested by the client’s drawing, calibrated outside diameter, FDA raw materials, pigmented raw material available in several colours (ROHS), anti-static and/or special additive fi lled raw materials, different shape sections, tubes cut at specifi c measure and/or treated as requested by the client’s drawing.
