PTFE Tubing

PTFE Liners

• Our PTFE tubing expands the capability of our medical tubing, allowing us to combine physical properties of multiple materials into one high-performance product. PTFE has one of the lowest coefficients of friction against any solid.
• Our liners are typically built with a wall thickness = 0.0005″ to 0.001″.
• We can supply tubing with the PTFE liner or provide an etched OD PTFE on a mandrel for catheter building at your facility.
• ETO sterilization is required with PTFE liners.

PTFE Composites

• Our unique process of incorporating fluoropolymers with Polyimide provides excellent mechanical properties while reducing the coefficient of friction.
• PTFE Composite Tubing can withstand gamma and e-beam sterilization.
• PTFE Composite can be applied to the ID and/or OD.

Coefficient of Friction

• Both PTFE composites and ultra-thin PTFE liners reduce the coefficient of friction:

Coefficient of friction:

• Pure PTFE = 0.1
• PTFE composite = 0.3
• Polyimide = 0.5
