FEP Tubing
Optiflon FEP - chemical resistant, clear and easily weldable
Excellent Chemical Resistance
Extrem high almost universal Resistance against Acids and Bases, Solutions and Gas. The Resistance of Optiflon FEP Tube is almost the same as PTFE. It is a little harder and has a little higher strenght values. The Tubing is free of any extractable substances.
Transparency
Depending on the Wallthickness Optiflon FEP Tubing is almost clear as glas so you can easily monitor the liquid flow.
Physiologically Harmless
Free of extractable substances, Optiflon PTFE Tubing is physiologically harmless, biocompatible and autoclavable.
Thermal mouldable and easily weldable
Unlike to PTFE, Optifloin FEP is meltable and thermal mouldable. Formed parts for example with an extra small bending radius for installation in very small spaces is producible. Optiflon FEP is also available as Shrink Tubing.
