PTFE (Teflon) is specified for a very wide continuous service temperature range and non-stick, non-contaminating surface characteristics. Continuous operating temperature is published at -65°F (-53.9°C) to 500°F (260°C). Verify compatibility before use with elemental fluorine at temperature or service requiring elastic recovery.
Maintenance and OEM teams specify it across food and beverage, pharmaceutical and biotech, and semiconductor fabrication.
Order part number TST012, sold individually. Nominal inside diameter is listed as 3/8 inch. Application requirements vary, so validate compatibility with your process conditions prior to installation.
