Teflon Virgin Natural Round Tube
Description
Teflon Virgin Natural Round Tube Description
PTFE (PolyTetraFluoroEthylene) is a fluorocarbon-based polymer known for its exceptional chemical resistance and high purity. PTFE tubes are self-lubricating with an ultra-low friction coefficient, making them ideal for high-temperature seals, insulators, and bearings. With its wide operational temperature range from -100°F to +400°F (-73°C to 204°C), PTFE is perfectly suited for demanding applications. PTFE also offers excellent thermal and electrical insulation properties and is extremely dense, which prevents it from being processed by melting.
