PTFE is the classic, original, and gold standard of fluoropolymer tubing. PTFE was the "miracle" fluoropolymer invented in the 1940's by DuPont - a product originally without a market and hard to process. Most other materials continue to use PTFE as a reference for chemical resistance.

FEP tubing is a copolymer of TFE, the basic fluoro-monomer building block. The addition of a modifier results in a small, but meaningful departure from the properties of PTFE tubing. Mainly, it possesses a working pressure that is 30% higher, transparent walls, a small increase in stiffness, and a...

While slightly more expensive, PFA tubing carries a number of improvements over other types of fluoropolymer tubing. The modifier used in PFA resins results in the same maximum use temperature and chemical inertness as PTFE (500 F). PFA tubing also has higher working pressures than FEP and PTFE.

ETFE is a fluoropolymer that is chemically and structurally similar to polyolefins such as polyethylene, thus providing a higher abrasion, impact, and crush resistance than its fully fluorinated (perfluoropolymer) counterparts -PTFE, FEP, and PFA.

PVDF, or Polyvinylidene Fluoride Fluoropolymer, provides good abrasion and wear properties with low permeability. PVDF tubing is used in a variety of industries such as aerospace, semiconductor, medical, automotive, fiber optics and marine tanks.

A proprietary product, H2TMConductive Tubing is the result of a special formula of FEP and PFA resin that has around 2.7-times higher heat conductivity than PTFE, ETFE, or regular FEP or PFA.

Currently, Fluorotherm offers FEP 1.3:1 shrink ratio tubing and FEP roll covers. FEP in these sizes is among the most popular heat shrink tubing product used for snug, protective jacketing for metal or other parts that are exposed to adverse, aggressive environments such as corrosion, chemicals,...

Fluorotherm’s current line of fluoropolymer rods consists of PCTFE structural rods. PCTFE is largely used for machined products for bearings, washers, gaskets, valve seats, gears and many other similar applications.

Monofilament fiber is used in braiding applications for general industry where weaved products are produced to provide non-stick, high temperature surfaces.
