PTFE Tubes PTFE-Tube Details PTFE-tubes made of clear white compounds continue to be the preferred material for applications requiring PTFE’s outstanding properties like chemical and temperature resistance as well as anti-adhesive characteristics. Furthermore, PTFE meets USFDA-requirements and can thus be used in engineering design components for food industry applications. Pigmented tubing is also available with FDA-certification. Filled compounds are the preferred material for applications specifying high wear resistance. Most commonly used compounds include PTFE-carbon, PTFE-glass, PTFE-bronze, and PTFE-graphite. Carbon and graphite enhance both mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of tubings. Because PTFE is physiologically non-hazardous and non-toxic, Elring PTFE-tubes are increasingly used in medical technology applications. Tubes for such applications are subject to particular quality standards regarding surface quality and tolerances. When used in radiology, these tubes can be made to provide x-ray contrasting capabilities by adding, for example, bismuth carbonate. Because of the high requirements imposed by medical technology, certain tube materials are subjected to basic cytoxicity testing. Benefits |
