1 Hose luoropolymer luoropolymer oiled ir Hose & luoropolymer Parflex luoropolymer tubing is available from Parker TexLoc in ort Worth, Texas. can be ordered directly from TexLoc or through the Parflex ivision. luoropolymer tubing features a low coefficient of friction and anti-stick properties, high temperature capabilities and the most corrosion and chemical resistance of all polymers. Within normal use temperatures, fluoropolymers are attacked by so few chemicals that it is easier to describe the exceptions rather than list the chemicals they are compatible with (see hemical Resistance Summary, pg. -44). These chemically inert tubes are non-wetting and non-leaching, making them ideal for a wide range of fluid and material handling applications. Parker TexLoc fluoropolymer tubing is available in PT, P, P and PV with some materials operating at temperatures up to 500 /260. ach material has specific dominant characteristics, but all operate in high-temperature, corrosive environments. Parflex PT, P, P and PV tubing complies with uropean Standard RoHs and are also compliant to regulation 21 R , making these products suitable for use in food and beverage applications. Parflex PT, P and P are listed VW-1 in the burning test for Underwriters Laboratories and pass the UL-83 vertical flame test. In a flame situation, PT, P and P tubing resist combustion and do not promote flame spread. ll fluoropolymer tubing dimensions are continuosly monitored to ensure an overall quality product. Most tubing sizes are packaged in convenient 25-ft., 50-ft., 100-ft. and 1,000-ft. lengths. Tooling, quipment PT PT (Polytetrafluorethylene) is offered in beading, smoothbore tubing and heat shrinkable tubing. PT tubing features unmatched chemical resistance and a non-stick surface that facilitates flow and eliminates media buildup. P P (luorinated thylene Propylene) is available in smoothbore tubing and heat shrinkable tubing. P tubing offers the highest clarity in the fluoropolymer market and is a close second to PT in chemical resistance. P is available in long, continuous lengths (1,000 feet and longer) whereas the longest lengths for PT range from 200 to 1,000 feet depending on size and wall thickness. eneral Technical -42

When temperature and clarity are both factors, P is the resin of choice because it offers the hightemperature attributes of PT, long continuous lengths, and almost as much clarity as P. High purity resins available. Low permeability. PV PV (Polyvinylidene luoride) is available in flexible and super flexible smoothbore tubing. PV offers a combination of properties beneficial for use in many critical applications requiring chemical resistance with low permeability. Tooling, quipment -43 eneral Technical
