PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)  is a type of engineered fluoro-polymer.

One of the primary and important attibutes of PTFE  is its outstanding resistance to chemicals and a wide range of working temperature from -73°C to 260°C.  This makes PTFE hoses ideal for a majority of fluids and ambient temperature working conditions found in Chemical, Oil & Gas and similar industries.  What’s more is PTFE has an extremely low coefficient of friction, also provides a non-stick surface and has a negligible water absorption properties making it FDA approved for food and pharmaceutical uses too.  PTFE can withstand vibration and flexing, is chemically inert and hence will not deteriorate or break down in service.  All these properties do not change with age or exposure to weather giving it an unlimited shelf life.  No wonder PTFE hoses are gaining in popularity for a variety of special use applications.
