Comparing Visual Differences Between PTFE and FEP Tubing

25 Sep.,2023

 

FEP Tubing and PTFE Tubing, which is often referred to as Teflon Tubing are manufactured in various forms and colors but are primarily produced using Natural colored resin. Clear FEP or Natural FEP Tubing is an optically clear fluoropolymer which is highly transparent and UV resistant. FEP is produced through a melt-process using conventional injection molding and screw extrusion.

PTFE Tubing although sometime see through is not considered a transparent tube. Natural PTFE resins are milky white in color and can range from semitransparent to opaque in color depending upon resin manufacturer. Some resin and extrusion manufacturers will describe PTFE as “WHITE” tubing even though pigments have not been added.
