Abrasion-Resistant Hard Plastic Tubing for Chemicals

This durable tubing has the best abrasion and wear resistance of all our hard tubing for chemicals. It can withstand a variety of acids and other harsh substances. Tubing is semi-clear, so you get a limited view inside the line. It is semi-flexible, so it’s good for gradual bends.
ETFE tubing can withstand a wider temperature range than PVDF tubing and can also handle vacuum applications. It has a super-smooth interior for unrestricted flow and easy cleaning. It meets ASTM D3159 specifications and testing requirements for material quality.
- Semi-Flexible
- Compatible with Compression Tube Fittings
- Hard (Durometer 65D)
- Temperature Range: -150° to 300° F

A sleeve (ferrule) compresses the tubing as you tighten the nut, creating a strong seal. The nut and sleeve are included. Fittings are also known as flareless fittings. Fittings that include a gripper sleeve on the tubing create an even tighter seal.
PFA fittings stand up to harsh substances. They’re made through a melting process.
