PTFE Tubes and Tubing for Chemical and High-Temperature Service
Pure and filled PTFE tube for fluid, electrical and semiconductor duty. PTFE tube is inert, non-stick and stable from cryogenic to 260 degC. We extrude it in pure and filled grades for fluid, electrical and semiconductor use. ID/OD and tolerance follow your drawing; we advise filled PTFE when you need less cold flow or better wear. Pure for chemical/inert duty; filled (glass, carbon, bronze) for l

- Low-friction rod and seal backer stock
- General-purpose industrial PTFE tube and conduit
Why PTFE for this application
PTFE's inertness and wide temperature window suit it for lines carrying aggressive chemicals or sitting near heat, with the lowest friction of common polymers for seal and guide use.
PTFE cold-flows under sustained load and is soft at high temp; confirm wall, creep and service temperature against the pressure/duty.
Standards: ASTM D3294, ISO 13000 (PTFE), FDA 21 CFR 177.1550 (grade dependent).
Feature and remaining-wall review
ID/OD sintered to size; CNC turning for ends, slots and holes. PTFE requires sharp tools to avoid chatter. Review feature depth, edge distance and remaining wall against critical geometries. Capability is confirmed on your drawing, not from a blanket tolerance.
Inspection and traceability
We state the control plan with you. Batch traceability links raw material lot to finished part.
- First-article inspection (FAI) per your plan
- In-process dimensional checks at every station
- Batch certificate of conformance (COA) supplied on request
- Lot traceability to incoming material certificate
- Dielectric strength and insulation resistance testing available on request

Common questions
Is PTFE chemically inert?
Yes. PTFE resists all common acids, bases, solvents and fuels except molten alkali metals and fluorine at elevated temperature. No post-processing needed for chemical resistance.
What tolerances can you hold on PTFE tubing?
ID/OD ±0.05 mm on standard sizes; tighter tolerances available with grinding. PTFE is sized by sintering, so critical dimensions are best held by finish grinding after forming.
Can PTFE be threaded or machined?
PTFE can be CNC-turned for ends, slots and holes using sharp, low-speed tools to avoid chatter. Threads are best formed by machining rather than rolling.
Do you supply material certification for PTFE?
Yes. Each batch includes a material COA. First-article inspection and dielectric strength testing are available per your specification.
Pure or filled PTFE?
Yes. Each batch includes a material COA. First-article inspection and dielectric strength testing are available per your specification.
