Fluoropolymer Tubing or Teflon ® Tubing with its unique combination of chemical, physical, and electrical properties, is used in aerospace, automotive, electronics, chemical manufacturing, healthcare, and food processing. Virtually total chemical inertness, plus heat resistance and excellent dielectric stability, give Teflon ® & Kynar ® tubing extended life, superior performance, extremely high reliability, and virtually unmatched versatility in many applications.
With over 25 years of manufacturing experience we offer you expert service. Our Teflon ® & Kynar ® tubing is manufactured from selected fluoropolymer virgin resins extruded to extremely precise tolerances. We stock a full range of sizes, and can custom manufacture for you. Call our customer service department at 800-519-3688 for details, or email us at customerservice@nmrtubes.com with your questions.
| PTFE Tubing The recommended choice for temperature requirements ranging up to 500º F (260º C), It resists “melt-off” by soldering irons when making terminations. |
PVDF Tubing An abrasion resistant fluoropolymer suitable for use in applications requiring chemical resistance with low permeability. It provides excellent chemical resistance. |
PFA Tubing Offers excellent crack and stress resistance.The product of choice for applications involving extreme chemical resistance combined with high temperature exposure. |
FEP Tubing The preferred material in production of small diameter tubing of continuous lengths. Its chemical and dielectric properties are similar to those of PTFE. |
