PTFE Sleeves/Tubing

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)   The combination of chemical and physical properties of PTFE is a consequence of its true fluorocarbon structure.  This unusual structure leads to a material which has an almost universal chemical inertness; complete insolubility in all known solvents below 300°C; excellent thermal stability; and unsurpassed electrical properties, including low dielectric loss, low dielectric constant and high dielectric strength.  Furthermore, PTFE does not embrittle at very high or at very low temperatures.
PTFE Sleeves
ADVANTAGES
  • High Performance from -200°C to 260°C (Peak 300°C)
  • Unaffected at soldering temperatures; Autoclavable
  • Suitable for High-Density wiring
  • Smooth Internals allow closer fit
  • Superior Tape-Wrapping-Sintering (TWS) Method provides good mechanical stability, high burst pressure and long flex-life 
  • High Dielectric Strength
  • Resistant to UV Radiation
  • Fire non-propagating
  • Inert to almost all chemicals (few exceptions), solvents, fluxes, oils; Zero extractables
  • Freedom from Ageing, Fungus and Water Absorption
  • Biocompatible
