Red Dawg - Extruded FEP Tubing
Extruded FEP Tubing is a Non-Shrinkable High Performance Fluoropolymer Sleeve designed for safety and reliability in extreme environments. Teflon FEP Tubing AWG ( Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene, American Wire Gauge ) has excellent physical, chemical, and electrical properties that meet ASTM Standard Specification. A melt processable product, Teflon FEP Tubing can be made in longer lengths then that of PTFE tubing reducing the need for splices when transporting dangerous chemicals. FEP Tubing AWG sizes are a clear choice for fluid flow observation and is a low cost alternative to PFA tubing. Clear Teflon FEP Tubing can be found in various applications where resistance to chemicals at elevated temperatures is essential or where serviceability at extremely low temperatures is desired.
While having similar properties in chemical resistance as PTFE , FEP Tubing has a higher coefficient of friction and a slightly lower opperating temperature. However because it is a melt processed product natural FEP Tubing is more transparent then PTFE and offers lower gas and vapor permeation. Natural FEP tubing is also extremely UV Resistant and can be Gamma, ETO and autoclave sterilized.
- Temperature : -454°F (–270°C) to 400°F (204°C)
- FEP offers excellent chemical and electrical product protection.
- USP Class VI approved & FDA compliant
- Lower gas and vapor permeability than PTFE
- UL 94 VO Flame Rating
