Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene
Chemflour® FEP Tubing can be engineered to meet the specific needs of an application, such as low molecular weight resin for general-purpose use and high molecular weight resin for applications requiring increased stress resistance.

Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) is a chemically inert thermoplastic. Chemfluor® FEP Tubing can be made out of various grades of FEP to tailor properties to the needs of the application: low molecular weight resin for general purpose use and high molecular weight resin for applications that require improved resistance to stress cracking. Chemfluor® FEP Tubing is available in numerous sizes and configurations including microbore, shrink tubing and roll covers.

Used in Dozens of Applications
If your application is highly demanding, there’s a Chemfluor® tubing for you. Chemfluor® tubings have outstanding chemical and physical characteristics because they are made using fluoropolymers and these materials are processed under stringently controlled conditions. In addition to being chemically inert, Chemfluor® tubings can be used in a broad range of temperatures, from -400°F to 500°F.

Meets USP Class VI Criteria
Chemfluor® FEP tubing fully complies with the requirements of USP Class VI Criteria and is non-toxic, non-hemolytic and non-pyrogenic. The three test types that are performed on Chemfluor® FEP tubing are systemic toxicity, intracutaneous toxicity and muscle implant.

Meets FDA Criteria
Because no plasticizers, stabilizers or fillers are used, Chemfluor® tubings are pure and non-contaminating. They are non-toxic and manufactured using resins that meet FDA criteria. The natural flexibility and performance-proven, anti-stick inner surface of Chemfluor® tubing make handling sticky and viscous fluids much easier, and facilitate speedy clean-up. The low surface energy minimizes adsorption of proteins, essential oils and metals. Unlike metal and rubber alternatives, Chemfluor® tubings are noncorroding and non-oxidizing. Unlike other plastic materials, they are unaffected by solvents, acids and fuels.
