PTFE Tubing, it’s pretty basic, you wouldn’t think people would mess it up. I mean it’s basically meant to handle hot liquids without bending, without melting, without leaking etc. It’s meant to resist chemical damage and so on, and frankly speaking, the best PTFE tubing should therefore not be hard to find at all. But the reality is that sometimes it is hard to find the best PTFE tubing or good PTFE tubing in general.

But realistically speaking, you need to look for the details. The devil is in the details they say. Any company worth using should offer you different options in tubing such as those with PTFE properties, FEP properties, PFA properties, you get the basic idea. You need variety, variety is essential. They should respect the environment, they should specify what’s better about their tubing such as for example great chemical resistance.

While some will use false advertising, if they don’t specify these details, you can guarantee that it’s basically because they don’t provide those options in general. So in general terms, I guess you could say that you have to expect more, expect the best even. Like any other industry, there are good and bad sellers when it comes to PTFE tubing. It’s just a matter of finding them.
