PTFE TEFLON TUBES AND HOSES
PTFE tubes are widely used for fluid transport in various industries, including pharmaceutical, petrochemical, electrical, mechanical, aerospace, and automotive sectors.
All PTFE and thin-walled Teflon tubes are certified by ISO and FDA, thus ensuring the purity of any transferred liquid and maintaining its taste and odour.
Felis S.r.l. can produce various sizes and always has a wide range of thin-walled PTFE Teflon tubes in stock.
Delivery time is approximately 45 days for sizes not available in stock.
Made from a synthetic polymer of tetrafluoroethylene, these tubes are suitable for applications ranging from very low to very high temperatures, with a temperature range from -70°C to 260°C. The exceptional chemical resistance, high-temperature tolerance, and low friction (as well as a high breaking load) make PTFE tubes widely used in various industries for fluid transfer.
Key features and benefits
PTFE tubes are made from a synthetic tetrafluoroethylene polymer and are suitable for applications ranging from very low to very high temperatures, with a temperature range of -70°C to 260°C. Their exceptional chemical resistance, high-temperature resistance, low friction, and high tensile strength make PTFE tubing widely used for fluid transfer in various industries.
Physical and mechanical properties of PTFE tubes
- Low coefficient of friction: PTFE tubing has a very low coefficient of friction, making it ideal for applications requiring minimal resistance.
- Excellent dielectric properties: these tubes are excellent electrical insulators and do not react to most chemicals.
- Non-toxicity: PTFE tubes are safe for use in the food and pharmaceutical industries due to their non-toxic nature.

Structure and composition
The inner core of PTFE tubing can be reinforced with stainless steel braiding or other suitable materials to enhance pressure resistance. The external cover can be made of stainless steel or other protective materials, depending on specific application needs.
Flexibility and durability
PTFE tubing offers excellent flexibility, allowing it to withstand repeated bending without developing cracks or leaks. That ensures durability and reduces the need for frequent maintenance.
Thermal and chemical resistance of PTFE tubes
Wide Thermal Resistance Range: PTFE tubes can operate in a temperature range from -20°C to +260°C, maintaining their properties.
Chemical Inertness: Teflon is virtually inert to most chemical compounds, making it ideal for corrosion-resistant applications.
Use in certified areas
PTFE tubing is FDA-certified for use in the food and beverage industry, ensuring no transfer of odours, tastes, or colours to treated fluids. This makes it particularly suitable for processes requiring high standards of purity and safety.
Common applications of PTFE tubing
PTFE tubing is used across several industries due to its unique properties, making it suitable for handling various fluids, including corrosive, high-temperature, and viscous liquids.
Chemical: PTFE tubes are used in the chemical industry to transport aggressive chemicals, acids, and solvents safely.
Automotive: widely employed in fluid transmission systems, such as fuel lines, power steering systems, braking systems, and other fluid transfer applications.
Pharmaceutical and biotechnological industries: it is used for the transport of sensitive fluids, including pharmaceutical ingredients and biotechnology products.
Food and beverage: it is suitable for the food and beverage industry for handling liquids, including dairy, ensuring purity and safety.
Uses of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) in extreme conditions
Aerospace industry: production of seals, tubes, and components in Teflon capable of withstanding extreme conditions.
Electronics: it is used as an insulator in high-performance cables and connectors.
Food industry: in addition to kitchen utensils, Teflon is used to coat tanks and pipes to prevent contamination of food products.
Specific medical applications
- Surgical implants: PTFE is used as a material for surgical implants.
- Accidental ingestion: PTFE can be ingested with food if scraped from surfaces by metal utensils.
Guide to choosing and purchasing
PTFE tubes come in various sizes and thicknesses and can be custom-made, but standard sizes are recommended for cost efficiency and faster delivery. Standard sizes include all major dimensions from 4×2 mm to 14×12 mm. Payments are due within 30-60 days after receiving the product, with no need for advance payment. Once an order is placed, if the items are in stock, we can process it within 1-2 days. If not, we will promptly inform you of the expected delivery times.
FAQs
What is the composition of PTFE?
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a polymer derived from tetrafluoroethylene. It is commonly known as Teflon, a trade name that often refers to PTFE with added stabilizers and fluidizing agents to enhance its performance and adaptability for various applications.
Up to what temperature can Teflon resist without being damaged?
Teflon, or PTFE, is characterised by a low thermal transmission coefficient, classifying it as a thermal insulator. This material is non-flammable and maintains its properties at temperatures up to 260°C.
