Dominant Properties and Suitable Usages of PTFE Tubing in construction?
PTFE stands for Poly Tetra Fluoro Ethylene, a polymer discovered by accident at Dupont by Mr. Plunkett. PTFE is available mainly in powder form and does not melt or flow. When heated over 350 degrees Celsius, PTFE transforms from a solid to a gas. Injection molding is not possible with PTFE since it does not melt flow. Compression molding, ram extrusion, and paste extrusion are all options for PTFE. Paste extrusion is used to make PTFE tubing. PTFE tubing made by paste extrusion is very flexible. Properties of PTFE Tubing Food and Drug Administration (FDA) criteria are met. Electrical properties are the best. Chemical resistance that is universal In the production of PTFE tubing, plasticizers are not used. Permeation is poor. Absorption is deficient. UV resistance is excellent. Compression fittings such as connectors and adapters are used to connect PTFE tubing to equipment and machines. The PTFE tubing's ID and OD dimension tolerances must be extremely tight to ...
