TUBING [PTFE]: Polytetrafluoroethylene, Pack of 10
$ 32.10 excl. GST
• For ideal use with the UNI-STOP stoppers SMALL, REGULAR and LARGE.
• Price is for a pack of 10 x 200mm lengths
• Supercedes glass tubing.
• Eliminates risk of glass causing wrist injury.
• Durable and long lasting.
• Internal Ø : 5 — 6mm.
• External Ø : 8 — 9mm.
• What is PTFE?
– PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), a synthetic polymer compound (fluoropolymer) of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE), used as a non-stick coating for pans and various cookware.
• What are PTFE properties?
– PTFE tubing is a strong, tough, white, waxy-feeling, semi-crystalline industrial thermoplastic with the lowest friction coefficient of any plastic material.
– Due to the strength of carbon–fluorine bonds, it is very non-reactive thus used in containers and pipework for reactive and corrosive chemicals.
– Well-known for its non-stick properties (unmatched by any other plastic).
– It is also hydrophobic, non-wetting, with a high density that makes for excellent high temperature and chemical resistance that property-wise remains unchanged over a broad range of temperatures.
– This unique combination of properties makes this versatile material useful for a wide variety of applications.

(Wikipedia excerpt: ..."...Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene, and has numerous applications because it is chemically inert.[3] The commonly known brand name of PTFE-based composition is Teflon by Chemours,[4] a spin-off from DuPont, which originally invented the compound in 1938.[4]
Polytetrafluoroethylene is a fluorocarbon solid, as it is a high-molecular-weight polymer consisting wholly of carbon and fluorine. PTFE is hydrophobic: neither water nor water-containing substances wet PTFE, as fluorocarbons exhibit only small London dispersion forces due to the low electric polarizability of fluorine. PTFE has one of the lowest coefficients of friction of any solid...")
