PTFE Teflon hoses, acid-resistant in stainless steel braid 

Tubing and hoses made of PTFE fluoropolymer (teflon) - acid resistant hose 

PTFE hoses, made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), are some of the most technologically advanced products on the market. PTFE, commonly known as Teflon, is a material with excellent chemical resistance, thermal and mechanical. Thanks to their unique properties, these hoses find wide application in various industrial sectors. PTFE is a semi-crystalline, high-performance thermoplastic and one of the most thermally stable plastics. It is resistant to almost all known elements, chemical compounds, and solvents. PTFE has excellent electrical insulation and the lowest dielectric constant among all plastics.

Teflon hose in steel braid

Teflon hoses in steel braid owe their name to two key construction elements – a core made of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) and an external steel wire braid, or more precisely a ✔️stainless steel✔️ braid, which strengthens the entire tubing structure. PTFE, commonly referred to as Teflon, is a material with exceptional chemical and thermal resistance, making it an excellent choice in demanding industrial applications. The external steel braid serves a protective and reinforcing function, preventing deformation, mechanical damage, and significantly increasing resistance to high pressures. Thanks to this, Teflon hoses in steel braid are used wherever high temperature resistance, aggressive chemicals, and high working pressures are required.

Silicone-free hydraulic hoses (LABS-free / PWIS-free)

At HYDRON, we also offer hydraulic hoses and industrial lines available with a LABS-free / PWIS-free (Silicone-Free) statement. This solution is intended for industries where even trace amounts of silicone can negatively affect painting processes and coating quality. If you want to find out what the LABS-free standard is, when it is required, and how to order lines with the appropriate documentation.

Stainless steel braid in PTFE hoses 

The braid in PTFE hoses is most commonly made of stainless steel, providing exceptional corrosion resistance and a long service life even in the most demanding operating conditions. It is created in the form of a steel wire braid that effectively protects the hose core from mechanical damage and strengthens the entire construction. Key features of the steel braid in Teflon hoses: High pressure resistance – the braided steel structure prevents the hose from expanding under high pressure, which is crucial in power hydraulics and industrial applications. Protection against mechanical damage – the steel braid effectively protects the PTFE core from abrasion, cutting, or other mechanical damage. Temperature and external factor resistance – stainless steel does not corrode, which makes the braid perfect for chemically aggressive environments and high temperatures (even up to 280°C). Improvement of elasticity and flexibility – despite high strength, the braid allows for maintaining appropriate hose flexibility, which facilitates its installation and use. Thanks to such properties, Teflon hoses in steel braid find application, among others, in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food, automotive, and hydraulic industries, as well as in systems for transporting media under high pressure and temperature.

Types of PTFE teflon hoses

Teflon hoses come in two varieties : smooth inside and convoluted ( rippled inside ). Convoluted hoses, due to the rippling, can be bent without fear that they will flatten. Smooth hoses can be used e.g. for the transfer of various types of media such as glue and others. PTFE hoses are also used in the automotive industry. PTFE hoses are available in two basic types, which differ in construction and application:

• Smooth PTFE hoses

The inner surface is ideally smooth, providing minimal flow resistance and ease of cleaning. Used where hygienic conditions are required, e.g. in the food, pharmaceutical, or cosmetic industries.

• Convoluted PTFE hoses

The outer surface is rippled, which gives the hoses exceptional flexibility and allows them to be used in installations requiring large bends. Ideal for hydraulic and chemical systems and wherever dynamic movements occur.

Key features of PTFE hoses

Teflon hoses are extremely versatile, and their unique properties allow for use in difficult industrial conditions. Key features of the hoses are :

• Excellent chemical resistance – PTFE hoses are resistant to corrosive chemicals, acids, bases, and solvents.
• Resistance to high temperatures – they withstand temperatures up to 280°C, making them an ideal choice for high-temperature installation applications.
• Abrasion and pressure resistance – mechanical strength enables their use in high-pressure systems.
• Safety and hygiene – PTFE is a chemically inert material, which is why these hoses are used in the pharmaceutical, medical, and food industries.

Example applications of PTFE hoses:

• Transport of aggressive chemicals in the chemical industry.
• Use in hydraulic installations exposed to high temperatures and pressure.
• Transfer of food media in conditions requiring high hygiene.
• Use in technological processes in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

Teflon (PTFE) hoses in stainless steel braid. Teflon hoses have excellent chemical resistance (resistant to most chemicals) and are characterized by a very high operating temperature (standardly from -70°C to +260°C); Hoses can be used for, among others, steam, hot oil, fuels, paints, glues, high-pressure gases, in the chemical industry for the transfer and handling of acids, bases, organic solvents, and very aggressive chemicals. Example application : fuel lines, brake lines, oil lines.

Teflon tubing 

Teflon tubing (PTFE) are technologically advanced hoses designed for work in the most demanding conditions. Their unique properties make them indispensable where standard rubber or plastic hoses do not meet expectations. Thanks to resistance to high temperatures, aggressive chemical substances, and pressure, PTFE hoses find application in hydraulics, the chemical industry, automotive, and aviation.

What distinguishes teflon tubing ?

The primary material used for the production of these hoses is PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) – a plastic known for its excellent chemical and thermal properties. In combination with a stainless steel braid, the teflon tubing gains additional pressure and abrasion resistance. Such a construction provides: resistance to temperatures from -70°C even up to +280°C, full chemical resistance to most acids, solvents, fuels, and oils, low friction coefficient, which limits pressure losses, excellent dimensional stability and no material aging effect, smooth internal surface, which minimizes the settling of contaminants.

Application of PTFE teflon tubing

Teflon tubing is used in applications requiring high purity, temperature, and chemical resistance, including: high-pressure hydraulic systems, fuel and oil installations, chemical substance transfer systems, the food and pharmaceutical industry, pneumatic and refrigeration systems, the automotive and aviation industry – e.g. in brake lines, fuel lines, and lubrication systems.

Acid hose

An acid hose made of PTFE is a solution intended for working with aggressive chemical media. The PTFE material is characterized by very high resistance to most chemical substances, including acids, bases, and many solvents, thanks to which the PTFE hose is commonly used in installations where standard rubber or plastic hoses do not meet requirements. The PTFE hose for acids is used in the chemical industry, laboratories, technological installations, and wherever chemical inertness of the line and safe transport of aggressive liquids are required. The smooth inner surface facilitates medium flow and limits the settling of contaminants, which affects the durability of the installation and safety of use.
