PTFE / FEP / PFA / ETFE / PVDF Tubing
Source standard and custom fluoropolymer tubing for corrosive fluids, high-purity chemical transfer, precision instrumentation and demanding industrial systems. Get help selecting the right material, size and documentation package before you place an order.
Material selection
Different fluoropolymer materials solve different fluid transfer problems. Start here to understand which material family may fit your media, temperature, purity and routing requirements.
PTFE tubing is widely selected for aggressive chemicals, high-temperature service, low friction and non-stick fluid paths. It is a strong option for chemical processing, laboratory transfer, electrical insulation and systems where long-term chemical compatibility matters.
FEP tubing is a good fit when visibility and flexibility are important. It supports transparent fluid transfer, instrument lines, medical routing and applications where operators need to see fluid movement.
PFA tubing is often preferred for high-purity chemical handling and elevated-temperature service. It is widely considered for semiconductor, pharmaceutical and ultra-clean fluid systems.
ETFE tubing provides a balanced combination of toughness, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance and electrical insulation. It can be useful in industrial systems where mechanical strength matters.
PVDF tubing is a practical choice for chemical transfer and water treatment applications that need chemical resistance with project cost control. Final selection should be checked against media, concentration and temperature.

| Material | Best For | Working Temperature | Chemical Compatibility Detail | Transparency | Flexibility | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PTFE | Aggressive chemicals, high temperature, low friction | Approx. -200 to 260 C continuous service | Excellent for most acids, alkalis and solvents; review molten alkali metals, elemental fluorine and oxygen-rich service. | Low | Medium | Chemical processing, laboratory transfer, insulation |
| FEP | Transparent transfer, flexible routing, heat sealing | Approx. -200 to 200 C continuous service | Broad resistance to acids, alkalis and common solvents; review strong bases, fluorinated media and high-temperature exposure. | High | High | Fluid visibility, medical lines, instrumentation |
| PFA | High-purity chemicals, semiconductor, high temperature | Approx. -200 to 260 C continuous service | Excellent for high-purity acids, oxidizers and solvents; review molten alkali metals, elemental fluorine and pressure at temperature. | Medium to high | Medium | Semiconductor, pharmaceutical, ultra-clean systems |
| ETFE | Abrasion resistance, mechanical strength, insulation | Approx. -100 to 150 C continuous service | Good for many acids, alkalis, salts and water-based chemicals; review strong oxidizers, ketones and chlorinated solvents. | Medium | Medium | Industrial fluid systems and electrical applications |
| PVDF | Cost-sensitive chemical transfer and water treatment | Approx. -40 to 150 C continuous service | Good for acids, halogens, water treatment chemicals and ultrapure water; review strong bases, polar solvents and hot high-pH service. | Medium | Medium | Water treatment, chemical dosing, process lines |
Temperature ranges are typical material-selection references. Final limits depend on grade, tubing size, wall thickness, pressure, fittings and chemical concentration.

FAQ
Short answers to common selection and purchasing questions.
Fluoropolymer tubing is tubing made from fluorine-containing polymers such as PTFE, FEP, PFA, ETFE and PVDF. It is commonly selected for chemical resistance, temperature stability, purity and low-friction fluid transfer.
PTFE is widely used for strong chemical resistance and low friction. FEP is often selected when clarity and flexibility are important. PFA is preferred for high-purity and high-temperature chemical transfer.
PFA tubing is often chosen for semiconductor and high-purity chemical systems, while PTFE may also be suitable depending on the process media, temperature and documentation requirements.
Yes. Custom options can include material, ID, OD, wall thickness, length, color, cut-to-length format, packaging, heat shrink, flaring, cuffing and other processing requirements.
Many fluoropolymer materials offer excellent resistance to acids, alkalis and solvents. The final material selection should be confirmed against the exact chemical media, concentration, temperature and pressure.
Please provide material preference, ID, OD, wall thickness, length, quantity, application, chemical media, temperature, pressure, compliance needs and any drawings or special packaging requests.
