Plastic FEP Tubing
Click image to enlarge
FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) is a semi-clear tubing product that maintains its strength and benefits in a wide range of temperatures and conditions. FEP tubing is designed with enhanced chemical resistance with advanced gas and vapor permeability properties and excellent UV transmission ratings. FEP tubing also provides increased clarity over PTFE with a higher coefficient of friction and lower continuous service temperature.
