Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is an engineered fluoropolymer. Oustanding resistance to chemicals is one of its primary attributes. A broad temperature range of -100Â°F to 500Â°F (-73Â°C to 260Â°C) make this hose material suitable for the majority of fluid and ambient temperature conditions found in industry.
Application Examples (Click to Read) 1  PTFE coated stainless steel wire allows for the use of durable stainless steel wire in applications requiring more lubricity, particularly in the medical field. Some products benefiting from PTFE coated wire include stylets for guidewires, guide wire cores and catheter mandrels/stylets.
