Tubing - Fluoropolymer - ChemfluorŽ PFA Tubing & Rod |
|

|
|
PFA,
which can operate in
temperatures ranging
from -320°F to
500°F, is
chemically inert and
virtually non-porous.
Used in any application
with high heat and
chemical requirements, ChemfluorŽ PFA's
non-stick
characteristics promote
ease of movement of
viscous, aggressive
compounds, and prevent
binding of proteins.
Used in Dozens of
Applications
If your application is
highly demanding,
theres a ChemfluorŽ
tubing for you.
ChemfluorŽ 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, ChemfluorŽ
tubings can be used in a
broad range of
temperatures, from
-400°F to 500°F.
Meets USP Class VI
Criteria
ChemfluorŽ PFA 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
ChemfluorŽ PFA tubing
are systemic toxicity,
intracutaneous toxicity
and muscle implant.
Meets FDA Criteria
Because no plasticizers,
stabilizers or fillers
are used, ChemfluorŽ
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 ChemfluorŽ 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,
ChemfluorŽ tubings are
noncorroding and
non-oxidizing. Unlike
other plastic materials,
they are unaffected by
solvents, acids and
fuels.
