Advantages of FEP Tubing

Incredible Chemical Compatibility

FEP film is inert and provides incredible resistance for all kinds of chemicals, except alkali metals, gaseous fluorine, and some complex halogenated compounds. It also provides low permeability when dealing with different types of compounds.

Superior Electrical Efficiency

FEP retains electrical properties over large areas of film. With a dielectric strength of over 6,500 V/mil, the tubing solution ensures that there is no electrical tracking or wetting.

Excellent Thermal Range

FEP works efficiently at temperatures in the range of -240 degrees Celsius to 205 degrees Celsius. Moreover, it is also heat sealable.

Outstanding Mechanical Toughness

With incredibly low frictional properties, FEP provides anti-stick capabilities. It is also highly resistant to impact and tearing, which makes it one of the most suitable chemical manufacturing materials.

Strong Weatherability

FEP offers strength and is inert to outdoor exposure. Equipment manufactured from FEP tubing demonstrates no measurable changes even after 20 years. It also has amazing UV transmission ratings.

Applications of FEP Tubing

Chemical Processing

FEP tubing is employed in chemical processing plants for safely and efficiently transferring corrosive chemicals. Its exceptional chemical resistance ensures that the tubing remains unaffected by aggressive substances, thereby preventing leaks or contamination during transportation.

Pharmaceutical Industry

The pharmaceutical industry relies on FEP tubing for various critical applications, including fluid transfer, filling equipment, and bioprocessing systems. The transparency of FEP allows operators to visually inspect the flow without compromising sterility.

Food and Beverage Sector

FEP tubing is vital in ensuring food safety by providing an ideal transportation medium for beverages, dairy products, sauces, and other food items requiring hygienic handling. Its non-stick surface makes it easy to clean after use.

Laboratory Equipment

Laboratories often utilize FEP tubing for various purposes, such as chromatography systems, sample transfer lines, and analytical instruments where chemical compatibility is crucial.

Aerospace Engineering

FEP tubing finds use in fuel lines in aerospace engineering due to its excellent resistance to aviation fuels and hydraulic fluids. The material’s thermal stability enables it to withstand extreme temperature variations commonly encountered during flight operations.

Precautions for Use FEP Tubing

FEP tubing, and all other fluoropolymer tubing for that matter, will often encounter molten resin. Materials in medical equipment like breaker plates, screws and die heads must be made of corrosion-resistant metals made of high nickel content. It’s also important that those working with fluoropolymers understand the concept of melt fracture. This can occur on the surface of tubing when there is too much shear in the die tooling gaps. Larger tooling gaps can help avoid melt fracture issues. Tubing with bigger drawdowns is the best way for those working with fluoropolymers to avoid issues with melt fracture. The processing of fluoropolymers is where the most potential safety issues arise.

Custom FEP Tubing

Special sizes

Virtually any size of FEP tube can be extruded from 0.2mm diameter to 113mm diameter.

Special grade

A selection of FEP tubing sizes is available as FDA and NSF compliant.

Ready cut tubing

FEP tubing can be supplied cut to any length in any quantity, and we can supply straight lengths.

Coloured FEP tube

All tubing can be made in 14 different colours, including black tube. The pigmentation has a very insignificant impact on the technical properties of the FEP tubing.

Close tolerances

We specialise in making FEP tubing to very close tolerances for medical, electronic, and instrument applications.

Bespoke FEP tube fabrication

We can easily manipulate FEP tubing to your project requirements, including flanging, coiling, pre-form bending, swaging and closing.

FAQ

Q: Is there any difference between FEP and PTFE?

A: Yes, there are differences between these two fluoropolymers despite their similar characteristics. While FEP has a lower maximum operating temperature than PTFE, it offers better clarity and flexibility.

Q: Can FEP tubing be sterilized?

A: Yes, FEP tubing is compatible with various sterilization methods, including autoclaving, gamma irradiation, and ethylene oxide gas sterilization.

Q: What are the benefits of using FEP tubing in the semiconductor industry?

A: FEP tubing’s high purity and low extractables make it an ideal choice for critical semiconductor manufacturing processes where contamination can significantly impact product performance.

Q: How does FEP compare to other fluoropolymers like ETFE or PFA?

A: While all three materials share some similarities, they have different properties that make them suitable for specific applications. PTFE has excellent mechanical strength and is often used in architectural applications.

Q: Can I use FEP tubing in high-pressure applications?

A: Although FEP has good burst pressure characteristics, it is not recommended for continuous use under high-pressure conditions.

Q: Is FEP tubing UV resistant?

A: Weathering FEP tubing products are virtually unaffected by weather elements. Its resistance to extreme heat, cold, and UV radiation further suits FEP properties for electronic applications.

Q: What is the difference between PUR and FEP?

A: IV catheter material available in PUR and FEP – PUR for a softer and more comfortable in-dwelling performance, FEP as alternative firmer material e.g. for arterial access.

Q: What is the maximum temperature for FEP?

A: FEP films perform well over a wide range of temperatures. FEP film has a continuous service temperature range from –240 to 205°C (–400 to 400°F), and it can be used in intermittent service at temperatures as high as 260°C (500°F).
