PTFE Hose

What is PTFE?

PTFE material is a kind of high molecular polymer, it is especially famous for it property of excellent chemical resistance, high melting point and good electrical insulation performance. It nearly has super to all the chemical reagents, include strong acids, bases and organic solvents. The continuous working temperature can be broad from low -80℃ up to high 260℃, thus property makes it can suit for most of the extreme temperature environment. Except all these advantages, PTFE material also has the excellent performance of low water absorption property, high temperature stability property and good mechanical property, all these character make it become the ideal material of many industrial application. The unique character of PTFE material is unmatched by other plastics, thus it get the name of “Plastic King”.

What is PTFE hose?

PTFE hose is composed of inner PTFE tube and and outer metal mesh braid. The inner tube of PTFE hose is smootm and has low friction coefficient, this leads to its excellent performance in liquid transfer and electrical insulation. The structure of outer metal mesh braid makes it have better pressure bearing character. The research of PTFE hose is originally for defense and cutting-edge technology, and gradually be promoted to civil domain.

Advantage of PTFE Hose

•  Chemical Stability: PTFE hose can resist the erosion of various strong acids, strong alkalis, organic solvents and other chemical substances, it can also keep its original property and shape even under extreme application condition. This is due to the fact that the fluorine atoms in the PTFE molecular chain have extremely strong electronegativity and can be tightly adsorbed on the carbon chain to form a dense protective film, which effectively isolates the hose from corrosion by external chemicals.
•  High Temperature Resistance: PTFE hose has good high temperature resistance performance, this character makes it still keep stable property under high temperature environment, and not damaged due to high temperature.
• Wear Resistance: the inner tube of PTFE hose is very smooth, and has low friction coefficient, thus can reduce the wear and resistance during transportation.

PTFE Hose Application

• High Temperature Steam Transfer: PTFE hose can bear the shock and corrosion of high temperature steam gas to ensure the transfer safety and efficiency. The high temperature bearing performance makes it still keep stability of not getting old aging, be deformed and broken.
• Hot Oil Transfer: PTFE hose also performs well under application area which need to transfer hot temperature oil liquid. Its good character of corrosion resistance can defence the harm of chemical element towards the hose inner tube, thus to ensure the safety and reliability during transfer process.
• Heat Exchanger Connection: PTFE performs as the pipeline connector component in heat exchange system. Its excellent temperature resistance property and sealing property can ensure the transfer efficiency during heat exchange process, and reduce the leakage risk at the same time.
