Plastic Tubing
Plastic tubing of various lengths and bores constructed of materials suitable for general laboratory, biopharmaceutical, food and beverage, medical, vacuum, low-pressure, high-pressure, cleanroom or environmental applications. Products may be chemical- or corrosion-resistant. Formulated for resistance to flex fatigue and abrasion, plastic tubing is more flexible and less permeable than rubber tubing.
How Is Plastic Tubing Used?
Flexible plastic tubing may be used as transfer lines for contamination fluid control, hydraulics, protective jacketing, vacuum pump and diaphragm pump feeds and discharges, refrigeration, water and fluid lines, food and beverage, instrumentation, research laboratories, agriculture, material handling, air and gas lines, chemical lines and pharmaceuticals.
Types of Plastic Tubing:
• PVC: lightweight and flexible, will retain its bore on bending and can be sterilized up to 121°C
• Silicone: ideal where a hard-wearing material is needed, including transfer of liquids or higher temperature environments
• LDPE: good for general low pressure and temperature, instrumentation, corrosive atmosphere, and food processing
• PTFE: has excellent chemical-resistant and temperature-resistant properties
• PE: flexible, lightweight, durable, and corrosion resistant, used for a wide range of liquid, gas, and fluid transfer applications
• FEP: clear, small-diameter tubing, the economical choice for chemical resistance and broad temperature exposure
• PEEK: high-performance polymer with mechanical and chemical resistance, and highly resistant to thermal degradation
AVANTOR MASTERFLEX (VWR LLC) Masterflex Transfer Tubing, Coiled FEP, 3/8"" ID x 1/2"" OD; 4 ft
Our retractable coil FEP tubing offers the chemical inertness of our standard FEP tubing combined with the flexibility of a coil. FEP tubing has excellent heat resistance, a low coefficient of friction, and won't deteriorate with age. Tubing withstands temperatures from -454 to 400¿F (-270 to 205¿C); and can be sterilized by autoclave, with ethylene oxide, or by using dry heat. Choose the size and length that best fits your application. Use tubing with compression fittings.

BURKLE INC PTFE hose, Ø 0.24x0.31 in. (6x8 mm), pressure max. 580.15 psi. (40 bar), 16.40 ft. (5 m)
PTFE hoses have outstanding properties, they are extremely resistant to almost all chemicals, have the lowest coefficient of friction of all polymers and excellent non-stick/residual emptying properties. PTFE hoses do not smell, burn or smoke and are resistant to ageing and UV radiation. However, they are not resistant to fluorine compounds and strong reducing agents.
PTFE tubing has good transparency for excellent visual control and excellent abrasion and aging resistance, which ensures long-term reliability.
