Product information
Product Details
Key facts
| Product Advantages | heat- and steam-resistant material, non-toxic‚ physiologically harmless, food compliant (FDA/EU...) depending on the product type, good weldability, tubes are autoclavable or steam sterilisable |
Construction / Material
| Type of construction | extruded hose without metal spiral |
| Material of the wall | partially fluorinated plastic ETFE (ethylene tetrafluoroethylene) |
| Specifications of the wall | non-flammable (UL 94: V0) |
Properties
| Chemical Properties | good resistance to solvents, good UV resistance, weather-resistant, free from paint wetting impairment substances (LABS), low permeation, chemical inertness, good resistance to aggressive chemicals |
| Mechanical Properties | high mechanical strength and impact resistance, very low sliding and static friction expressed by a low coefficient of friction, best mechanical properties of all fluoroplastics, high resistance to stress cracking |
| Physical Properties | low surface energy, good dielectric properties |
| Pressure Resistance | very pressure resistant |
| Colour | transparent to translucent (depending on wall thickness), other colours available according to the RAL colour chart |
| Other | resistance to harsh environment |

Article Variants
The minimum bending radius specifications for our tubings are partly theoretical and represent typical values at 23 °C. The specifications are provided for comparison purposes only and do not represent guaranteed properties. They must be verified by the user. | The burst pressure specifications for our tubings are partly theoretical and are based on the unit bar at a room temperature of 23 °C. The values are used for product comparison purposes, but do not represent guaranteed properties of our products. Pressure resistance decreases as temperatures rise. For safe operation, we recommend maintaining at least three times the safety margin (max. operating pressure = ambient pressure at the corresponding operating temperature /3).
