Altaflo® 100 PTFE Tubing
Altaflo® 100 PTFE tubing has the broadest temperature range of any fluoropolymer and can resist highly corrosive liquids and gases even at elevated temperatures.
PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) was first developed by the E.I. DuPont Co. PTFE is the most flexible of all fluoropolymers offered. Altaflo 100 PTFE has the broadest temperature range of any fluoropolymer and can resist highly corrosive liquids and gases even at elevated temperatures.
The smooth surface finish, lowest coefficient of friction, and lubricity make it ideal for bushing or bearing applications. Lengths may be limited due to batch size — please call to confirm available lengths at time of order. Altaflo 100 is compatible with most standard fittings (not suitable for use with flare-type fittings).

The above information is based on tests performed at 73° F and can vary in individual applications based on parameters such as temperature, chemical concentration, pressure, etc. Please consult factory for details. For an estimate on burst pressure at ambient temperature we consider a 3:1 ratio when exposure temperature is 73° F. However, Altaflo does not recommend exceeding the suggested Working Pressure listed.
