FLUOROPLASTIC TUBING has many applications throughout industry. The unique properties allow the tubing to solve problems possible with no other material.
CHEMICAL Virtually total chemical resistance at temperatures up to 260 C mean that tubing can handle the transport of all fluid chemicals and solvents. In small sizes such as automatic laboratory analysis equipment to 1000 mm diameter linings in process plant. Tubing can also be used to protect less resistant materials such as glass or stainless steel on stirrers, thermometer probes and vat heaters.
MECHANICAL The combination of low friction and temperature resistance allows fluoroplastic tubing to be used in applications such as sleeve bearings, push-pull cables, non-stick roller covering etc.
ELECTRICAL Due to the excellent dielectric and other properties combined, thin wall tubing finds many unique applications in electric and electronic engineering. Insulation of connections in hot environments such as toasters, soldering irons etc., very high voltage sleeving, very fine bore sleeving is used in miniature components which is unaffected by the soldering temperature.
MEDICAL Inert, non-toxic and bio-compatible are properties sought after by medical device manufacturers. Our tubing finds applications as intravenous catheters, catheter introducers, angiographic catheters etc. Medical tubing is made under GMP conditions and packed and sealed in clean-rooms.
Fluoroplastic thin wall tubing is available in hundreds of standard sizes. However each customer has different demands and we are always pleased to produce a special tube to order. Small volume production runs are normal to us, and therefore the very large minimum order requirements of the mainstream plastics industry are not required.
Close Tolerances. We specialise in making tubing to very close tolerances for medical, electronic, and instrument applications.
Ready Cut. Tubing can be supplied cut to any length in any quantity, and in particular we can supply cut straight lengths (i.e. no curvature).
Coloured Tubing. All tubing can be made in fourteen different colours, and also with coloured stripe.
Special Sizes. Virtually any size of tubing can be extruded from 0.1 mm diameter to 150 mm diameter. Sizes larger than this can also be made.
Profiles. We welcome enquires for extruded profiles no matter how complex, however tooling costs are normally charged to the customer.
Adtech have facilities for manipulation of tubing - flanging, coiling, preform bending, closing, swaging etc. Contact us with your requirements
