Fluortubing USA


Fluortubing is specialized in extrusion and thermoforming of thin wall PTFE tubing.

Fluortubing has vertical extrusion lines, especially designed for large bore,
thin wall paste extruded PTFE tubing. Two new lines are programmed to be
operational in the spring of 2001.

Manufacturing varies from less than 1 mm. up to 100 (150) mm. bore. Also, Fluortubing offers a complete line of PTFE convoluted
tubing from ½" bore up to 4".

Types varying from low convoluted, thin wall direct-crimp tubing to heavy wall flair tubing and a range for vacuum applications at
elevated temperatures that has an increased wall thickness.

All types of tubing are also available in conductive (anti
-static) compounds or in colours.

Specialities

Some specialities worth mentioning are:
- Chlorine (electrolyser-) hose and tubes
- Etched inner liners for rubber hose
- Spirally formed tubing for vapour cleaning of medical equipment
- Inner tube for high pressure (over braided) PTFE Hose

Available smooth bore PTFE Tubing
1. AWG sizes
2. Metric sizes
3. Inch sizes: heavy wall, extra heavy wall

Sizes not in tables can be produced on request, with a. max. of about 100 mm.( 4").
Fluortubing specializes in thin wall tubing, therefore thick wall tubing (wall > 4mm.) cannot be offered at a competitive price.

After sizing of smooth bore tubing
Smooth bore PTFE Tubing that has been reheated, sized and drawn straight can be offered.
This provides closer tolerances and better straightness.
It also offers a possibility for heat shrinkable tubing with a max. shrink factor of 1.2 : 1.0.
In this process the tubing is quenched in cold water. This gives lower christalinity. In some applications this is an advantage.



Etching of PTFE Tubing

PTFE Tubing can be etched with sodium in ammonia in order to bond rubber or glue to the product. Etching can be on OD, ID or both.

Cut Pieces, bending and spiraling, flairing, cutting, preformed bends or spiral-forms, as well as expanding or flairing are offered on
request.

Convoluted tubing
1. Low convoluted tubing
2. Heavy wall flair tubing
3. Vacuum application tubing

Coloured tubing
PTFE Tubing can be easily coloured with a variety of pigments.
