Follow on Google News | Fluoropolymer Tubing Supplies Return to Normal Levels Following Raw Material ShortagesPTFE, FEP and PFA tubing from NewAge Industries is now at normal stock levels after shortages of raw materials. Production and exports have now returned to normal levels, as has NewAge’s stock of tubing in straight styles and special versions.
By: NewAge Industries, Inc. Several years ago, fluorspar, a mineral used in the production of fluoropolymers and mined primarily in China, Mexico, Mongolia and South Africa, saw decreased demand in conjunction with the reduced use of CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) Fluoropolymers are some of the most versatile engineering materials known and have been used in nearly every field of modern industry, technology and science. They are recognized for their excellent resistance to heat – up to 500°F (260°C) continuously – but can also withstand temperatures below ‑100°F (‑73°C). Fluoropolymer tubing can handle most any corrosive chemical in use today. NewAge Industries offers fluoropolymer tubing in PTFE, FEP and PFA formulations. All three are manufactured from FDA-compliant materials and provide non-stick properties for the transport of viscous or sticky materials without line clogging. They offer excellent chemical and electrical properties, and both inch and metric sizes are available. Other styles of fluoropolymer tubing are available to increase the product’s flexibility. Corrtef(TM) corrugated FEP tubing allows for a nearly zero bend radius. Contef(TM) convoluted PTFE tubing is easily flexed and offers flush cleaning. It is available with a stainless steel wire encircled the outer diameter for increasedpressure capability and to aid in electrical grounding. Pureloc(R) injection-molded PFA compression fittings are also stocked.
