PTFE hoses are commonly employed in a range of industrial applications, including:
Transfer of chemical and petroleum products
Steam applications within the chemical sector
Air suspension and braking systems
Pneumatic systems in the food and beverage industry
Vacuum-related applications
PTFE hoses are an excellent option when selecting the correct hoses for your needs. Here's why they're becoming increasingly popular:
High-temperature resistance: They perform effectively at temperatures up to 200℃, making them perfect for
hot fluid applications and providing reassurance about their performance in extreme conditions.
Chemical resistance: Due to PTFE's inert characteristic, these hoses withstand strong acids, bases, solvents, and other aggressive chemicals.
Corrosion resistance:Their non-reactive characteristics prevent degradation when exposed to corrosive substances, ensuring long-lasting durability.
Low friction coefficient:The non-stick surface minimizes residue buildup, allowing smooth fluid flow throughout the hose.
Low permeability:PTFE hoses effectively stopgas, chemicals, or oil from leaking through the hose walls,reducing the risk of hazardous spills.
Good flexibility: While they may not be as elastic as polyurethane (PU) hoses, PTFE hoses still provide a minimum bending radius of 11-250 mm, depending on their diameter.
FDA Approved: Many PTFE hoses areFDA-certified, making them suitable for use in the pharmaceutical,medical, and food and beverage sectors.
Self-extinguishing: These hoses have a crucial safety feature; they extinguish flames automatically once the ignition source is removed.
