 Because PTFE and other fluoropolymers are almost universally inert to industrial chemicals and solvents, their use for corrosion protection has become one of their largest growth areas. Often referred to as Teflon® tubing, PTFE tubing can handle virtually any corrosive chemical in use today, with few exceptions. It is also recognized for its excellent resistance to heat — up to 500°F continuously. Lesser known is its usefulness in extremely cold temperatures — well below -200°F. It will remain reasonably flexible to -110°F.
NewAge Industries offers PTFE tubing in a wide range of sizes and wall thickness to meet most any need - from straight tubing, thinner-walled AWG and fractional sizes, to Contef™, our convoluted PTFE tubing, as well as a Stainless steel overbraided PTFE hose, constructed of virgin material with a series 300 stainless steel wire braid reinforcement jacket. The stainless steel overbraid permits higher-pressure uses, reduces the possibility of kinking, and protects the core.

| ABOUT PTFE TUBING AND HOSE |
| Fluoropolymers are one of the most versatile engineering materials known and, since their discovery over 60 years ago, have been used in nearly every field of modern industry, technology, and science.
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), a fluorocarbon-based polymer, is a resin supplied in powdered form, which is mixed, preformed, and extruded into a paste, and then finally tubing. PTFE tubing can be used in a large variety of applications, due to its high chemical resistance, high and low temperature capability, resistance to weathering, electrical and thermal insulation, and lowest coefficient of friction of any solid material.

| HISTORY OF PTFE |
| PTFE was discovered by Dr. Roy Plunkett, a chemist at DuPont, in 1938. The use of fluoropolymers became well known to the public in 1946 when E.I. DuPont began marketing his “Teflon®” brand product for use on cookware, as a fiber treatment for stain resistance, and in other household applications. These days, high quality fluoropolymers are manufactured by a number of respected companies for use in the manufacture of PTFE tubing. |
