PTFE Hose, as a representative of high-performance engineering plastic hoses, occupy an irreplaceable core position in high-end industrial fields such as chemical engineering, semiconductors, medical care, and new energy, and are hailed as the "golden industrial hoses". This article delves deeply into the fundamental aspects of PTFE Hoses: the definition, classification, materials used in manufacturing, application fields, and the basic factors to consider when purchasing them.
1. Meaning of PTFE Hoses
Polytetrafluoroethylene, abbreviated as PTFE, a type of fluoroplastic, is an important category of plastics. It is made from fluororesin and is a polymer of alkanes with some or all of the hydrogen replaced by fluorine. It is also commonly known as the "King of Plastics". It is a high-performance fluoroplastic with excellent chemical stability, high-temperature resistance and low coefficient of friction. PTFE hoses are tubular products made from PTFE resin through processes such as extrusion, molding or winding. They are widely used in industries such as chemical engineering, electronics, electrical engineering, aviation, aerospace, semiconductors, machinery, textiles, construction, medical care, food and automobiles. The outstanding properties of PTFE hoses have made significant contributions to productivity and quality assurance in the manufacturing industry.
2. Characteristics of PTFE hoses
PTFE hoses feature excellent dielectric properties, chemical resistance, resistance to high temperature, non-stickiness, low friction coefficient and good self-lubrication.
- High corrosion resistance: Long-term use in harsh environments and suitable for the transportation of various chemical media
- High temperature resistance: High-temperature steam industry
- Low friction coefficient: Reduces pressure loss and energy consumption, and improves conveying efficiency
- Excellent insulation performance: In the fields of electronics and power, it can be used in high-voltage and high-frequency environments.
- Non-toxic and odorless: Used in medical devices and food processing fields.
In PCB prototyping, PTFE is a high-frequency board with extremely excellent performance, which is very suitable for radar, high-frequency communication equipment, radio equipment, etc.
3. Classification of PTFE Hoses
Classified according to its main industry application fields:
a. PTFE hose: Used as an insulating protective sleeve for wires and for pipelines resistant to corrosive fluid media.
b. PTFE corrugated hose: It is used for pipes made of graphite, ceramics, glass, etc. with relatively low mechanical strength. After special processing, it has soft flexibility.
c. PTFE braided hoses: They are used in industries such as rubber, clothing, automobiles, machine tools, and paper making as flexible hoses for hydraulic, pneumatic, and steam transportation. It has better performance and service life than other conveying hoses for transporting liquids with alternating hot and cold conditions, gases and highly corrosive media.
d. PTFE corrugated braided hoses: Used for high-temperature steam hoses and for transporting high and low-temperature liquids. It is suitable for occasions with complex pipeline layouts or curved Spaces.
