During the late 1930s at the Dupont Laboratories, Polytetrafluoroethylene or PTFE was discovered. Since then, PTFE has proven to be a unique plastic for many varied applications.

At Techflex Enterprises our smoothbore PTFE tubing is reinforced with an outer braid of 304 stainless steel to produce a high quality hose that is:

  • Flexible, strong and able to withstand thousands of flex cycles.
  • Inert and resistant to most chemical attack with few exceptions.
  • Heat resistant to a wide operating temperature range
    -65°F to 450°F continuous service
    -100°F to 500°F intermittent service
  • Non-sticking and non-wetting; providing for easier product flow, hose purging or cleaning.
  • Ageless, since PTFE is unaffected by weather, sunlight or time.
  • Designed to meet your requirements.

Techflex Enterprise PTFE hose offers a solution to a variety of applications in the industrial, automotive, chemical, and pharmaceutical environments where temperature and chemical attack restrict the use of alternative materials.
