ADVANTAGES OF TEFLON
- Chemical Resistant ! PTFE creates a virtually universal hose which handles the
broadest range of media.
- Temperature Resistant ! From cryogenics to steam all in one hose.
- Low Friction ! Low pressure drop because deposits do
not accumulate on the innercore. Easy to clean permitting use of one
hose for several services.
- Flexible ! Withstands continuous flexing and vibration without failure from flex
fatigue.
- Moisture Resistant ! Ideal for pneumatic systems requiring low dew point functionality.
- Chemically Inert ! Will not break down or deteriorate in service.
- Non-Aging ! Unlimited shelf life because properties do not change with age or
exposure to weather.
Titeflex hoses feature Dupont's Hose of Teflon PTFE  resin which provides the following physical
characteristics:
HOSE of TEFLON PTFE
(PTFE FLUOROCARBON)
AS A HOSE MATERIAL
Polytetrafluoroethylene
is an engineered fluoropolymer commonly known by Dupont's trade name
"Teflon". Outstanding resistance to chemicals is one of it's primary
attributes. A broad temperature range of -100F to 500F (-73C to
260C) make this hose material suitable for the majority of fluid and
ambient temperature conditions found in industry. An extremely low
coefficient of friction, (0.05 to 0.20), provides a non-stick surface.
Water absorption of PTFE is negligible, less than 0.01% by ASTM test.
And, it is FDA-approved for food and pharmaceutical use.

TYPICAL TITEFLEX HOSE APPLICATIONS
EXAMPLES
- Steam hose. Convoluted
hose assemblies (R276-20) handling steam and water alternately with a
12-15 minute thermal cycle on a hot press for lamination of
thermoplastics materials.
- Chlorine transfer hose. (S81816)
Loading service conditions at about -70F (-57C) at psi's ranging from
70 to 135. These hoses replaced Monel metal hoses.
- Air, fuel & oil hoses in buses. Of
the many applications on a bus the majority are Hose of Teflon PTFE hose assemblies
(R115 hose assemblies). Temperatures to 250F and pressures to 450 psi.
- Turbo machinery. Lube, oil, fuel, air and coolant, transfer lines.
- Chlorine repackaging. Titeflex
S81808 (1/2") chlorine hose has been recommended by the Chlorine
Institute as a replacement for copper tubing in filling chlorine
cylinders because of it's safety and versatility.
- Gasses. Medium, high and extra high pressure assemblies for transfer of compressed gasses.
