Is Teflon tubing flexible?

PTFE tubing is the most flexible of all fluoropolymer tubing offered. The smooth surface finish and lowest coefficient of friction & lubricity make the tubing, pipe or rod ideal for bushing or bearing applications. PTFE tubing temperature range is -410°F to 500°F.

What is PTFE used for?

PTFE’s beneficial properties enable it to be used in a wide range of applications, such as seals (including PTFE ‘O’ rings), PTFE gaskets, valves, wire insulation, insulated transformers, bearings, surface coatings, chemical processing equipment, chemical transport and PTFE rubber diaphragms – to name but a few.
