For over sixty years Polytetrafuoroethylene (PTFE, brand names: tarfen, tefon, fuon) has been known and
recognized for its unique properties. It is widely used in all branches of industry, including production of fexible
hoses of various construction and application.
PTFE unique properties:
- Excellent chemical resistance. It does not dissolve or swell in any of known solvents. It is resistant to highly
aggressive acids and alkalis. Only very few, very rare substances (fuorine, boiling alkali metals, oxygen bifuoride,
chlorine trifuoride) can affect PTFE.
- Wide range of thermal resistance. PTFE remains fexible even at the temperature of liquid helium (-269C).
Crystalline melting point of PTFE is +327C, and at +415C decomposition of PTFE takes place. Working
temperature for hoses made of PTFE usually ranges from -70C to + 260C depending on the hose design
(pressure and mechanical parameters of PTFE start to decrease when the temperature rises above +130C).
- Resistance to ageing and weather conditions. PTFE is hydrophobic, entirely resistant to ozone, oxygen, light
and UV radiation. Samples exposed for several dozen of years to diverse climate conditions have not shown
any changes to PTFE properties.
- PTFE has a very low coeffcient of friction (from 0.02 to 0.2) and a low value of surface energy. Therefore hoses
made of PTFE have self-cleaning properties (substances do not stick to hose walls) so the transfer is very
hygienic.
- Good electrical properties, high resistivity.
- Self-extinguishing properties.
- Moderate resistance to abrasion.
Other materials similar to PTFE
Hoses can be manufactured not only from PTFE but also from PTFE copolymers. They usually feature high
chemical and thermal resistance but other properties are slightly different in comparison to PTFE (better mechanical
resistance, better processing qualities):
- FEP (Tefon FEP, DuPont),
- PFA, MFA (Tefon PFA, DuPont),
- ETFE (Tefzel, DuPont),
- ECTFE (Halar).
Production and construction of PTFE hoses
Because of high viscosity even at temperatures close to thermal decomposition (+415C), PTFE hoses are
manufactured by extruding the compound of lubricant (paraffn oil) and PTFE powder.
Types of PTFE hose construction:
- Smooth and corrugated hoses with no braid. Used for low pressure applications. Translucent, PTFE wall allows
the visual control of the fow.
- Smooth hoses with a single or double external braid made of stainless steel. Widely used for almost all media:
chemicals, gases, steam, oils, lubricants, fuel, paint, adhesives, foodstuffs in all branches of industry. The
combination of relatively high working pressure of the hoses (up to around 400 bar) and PTFE unique properties
result in a universal and irreplaceable solution for recent industrial technology.
- Corrugated hoses with external braids made of stainless steel or different materials. Sometimes reinforced with
a steel wire helix between PTFE and the external braid. Manufactured in various construction options with lower
working pressure but higher fexibility than smooth bore hoses.
- Smooth bore hoses with an extruded PTFE liner with a textile cord, steel wire helix reinforcement and an external
layer made of rubber. All layers are vulcanized and permanently integrated with the PTFE internal layer - as in
a standard rubber hose. Used mainly in chemical industry.
General information about PTFE hoses
INDUSTRIAL HOSES - PTFE
180
As virgin PTFE is nonconductive and features high surface electrical resistivity (R = 10
17
), potential hazards
connected with static electricity should always be carefully considered. If a transferred substance is a bad electrical
conductor and has electrifying properties, an electrostatic charge builds up on the inside of PTFE layer. The higher
the fow rate, the faster the buildup of charge. The charge may build up faster than it is discharged through PTFE to
the other parts of the installation and to the ground. When voltage reaches the suffcient level a sudden discharge
of electric charges occurs. It may progress as follows:
- discharge to the stainless steel braid causes a micro hole or a plasma arc (at high temperature) that may lead
to a leakage and ignition of fammable substances,
- an electrical spark occurs on the hose surface that has enough energy to ignite a fammable substance,
- discharge to external parts or people who are handling the hose.
To avoid the problem of static electricity an antistatic version of PTFE (with addition of graphite) is used. This
version enables lowering the resistance between the internal layer of the hose wall and the grounded steel ftting
below 10
8
and discharging the electric charges.
Antistatic version of PTFE hoses:
- standard version (wall made of antistatic PTFE) - electric charges are discharged to the braid and fttings,
- only internal layer is antistatic - electric charges are discharged along the internal layer to the hose ends.
Electrical continuity within installation
Electrical continuity within installation is a notion completely different from antistatic properties of a hose. Electrical
continuity is ensured if a direct electrical connection with the use of a conductor (copper wire, braid) is provided
between fttings. Resistance measured between hose fttings should not exceed 10 .

Media that require antistatic PTFE
Substances such as: organic solvents (acetone, toluene, xylene), alcohol, fuel (automotive, aviation,
heating oil), solids (powder, dust), steam and many more require antistatic PTFE hoses.
Substances that do not require antistatic PTFE: non-organic products (salts, acids, alkalis), some
alcohols, glycol, water, dry and pure gases, dry and pure steam.
Antistatic PTFE for foodstuffs
Because many substances conveyed in food industry require antistatic PTFE, a special version of antistatic PTFE
certifed for foodstuffs is used.
Application of different versions of PTFE should be always confrmed with Sales or Technical Department of
TUBES INTERNATIONAL.

The internal layer made of seamless extruded, premium grade of PTFE that ensures minimum
porosity, maximum fexibility and high resistance to vibration. The braid made of heat treated,
AISI 304 stainless steel wire (tensile strength: 1700 MPa). There are several SMOOTHBORE
versions available: standard or heavy wall, with a single or double braid (see tables below). Heavy
wall is recommended for heavy-duty applications, gases (up to 150 bar) and applications with
cyclic, rapid temperature changes. Double braid version is designed for high working pressure
and applications where kink resistance is required as the hose undergoes constant bending.
Characteristics:
SWSB (standard wall, single braid)
For temperatures above +130C reduce the maximum working pressure given in the
tables by 0,75% for each 1C of temperature rise above +130C.
Example: at +170C temperature, maximum working pressure for AF-SWSB-08 hose is:
260 bar - (170C - 130C) x 0,75 = 260 bar - 30% = 182 bar.
Safety factor (working pressure/ bursting pressure) is 1:3.
Usage: Due to the unique properties of PTFE (wide temperature range, excellent chemical resistance,
non-stick surface), widely used to transfer chemicals, foodstuffs, fuels, oils, paints, solvents,
adhesives, detergents, inks, steam, etc.

according to ISO 8031 Annex A. HYPERLINE V SS is resistant to
full vacuum up to +130C temperature (TO and PB up to +80C).
Characteristics:
For temperatures above +130C reduce the maximum working pressure given in the
tables by 1% for each 1C of temperature rise. For PB version by 5% for each 1C above
+80C. Example: at +170C temperature, maximum working pressure for AF-VFSS-10 is:
60 bar - (170C - 130C) x 1 = 60 bar - 40% = 36 bar
Safety factor (working pressure/ bursting pressure) is 1:4.
Usage: Due to the unique properties of PTFE (wide temperature range, excellent chemical resistance,
non-stick surface), widely used to transfer chemicals, foodstuffs, fuels, oils, paints, solvents,
adhesives, detergents, inks, steam, etc.

PHARMALINE hose is made of smooth inside and corrugated outside PTFE. The construction
combines properties of smooth hoses (ease of cleaning, uninterrupted fow) and high fexibility
that is specifc to corrugated hoses. It is a lighter version of BIOFLEX hose, designed for
traditional ftting-hose connection (crimping by a ferrule) as well as for RELINK reusable fttings.
Hoses in all diameters are resistant to full vacuum up to 140C.
A standard PHARMALINE hose in GP version has the internal layer made of PTFE in accordance
with FDA No. 21 CFR 177.1550 standard. An antistatic version (AS) is also available - compliant
with FDA No. 21 CFR 178.3297 standard. Both GP and GP AS hoses have been tested and
they both conform to the requirements of USP Class VI. The material of the external layer-
platinum cured white silicone rubber is compliant with USP Class VI and with FDA CFR-177-
2600 standards. PHARMALINE hose can be optionally manufactured in accordance with ATEX
directive and adequately labelled according 94/9/EC Directive.
Characteristics:
For temperatures above +130C reduce the maximum working pressure given in the tables
by 1% for each 1C of temperature rise above +130C. Example: at +170C temperature,
maximum working pressure for AF-PHGP-10 is:
100 bar - (170C - 130C) x 1 = 100 bar - 40% = 60 bar
Safety factor (working pressure/ bursting pressure) is 1:4.
Usage: PHARMALINE hose is designed for transfer applications in high purity conditions both inside
and outside the hose. It is widely used in pharmaceutical, biotech, chemical and food industry.
Excellent for other industrial applications, particularly those where hot medium is transferred,
posing potential burn hazard due to accidental, direct contact with the hose. For example
hot oil or steam transfer. Unlike silicone hoses, PHARMALINE can undergo countless steam
sterilization without the risk of degradation of the hose and/or adverse changes in its material.
note: for an antistatic version add AS at the end of the code
TRICLAMP (TRICLOVER) fttings are used as a standard for PHARMALINE hose. Other fttings can also be used
e.g. BSPT male thread, NPT, fange, CAMLOCK, DIN11851, RJT, RJP, SMS. RELINK reusable fttings are also
available.

The graph shows the relation between the maximum
working pressure and temperature for nominal diameters
of CORROFLON GPSS hose. At temperatures lower than
0C and down to -70C, the maximum working pressures
applies as the nominal pressure of the hose.
For PB version, in the temperature range from -30C to
+80C as per graph. From +80C up to +100C reduce
the pressure by 50%. RC, FP, SI versions as per graph
(within the temperature range of the particular version).
PB - polypropylene braid
A hose in polypropylene braid is more lightweight (around
20% compared to GPSS version) and more resistant to
abrasion.
Recommended for applications involving frequent
operation and relocation. Excellent for frequent
manual handling of the hose in particular. The working
temperature ranges from -30C to +100C.
Hoses in SS version are resistant to full vacuum up to +130C. Vacuum resistance must be reduced by 1% for
every 1C above + 130C. The resistance of other versions is limited by their maximum working temperature.
Relation between working pressure and temperature
Vacuum resistance
AS - antistatic internal layer
Special additives reduce inherent, high resistance of

One of the end fttings must be grounded. The additives
in the material of the hose do not have any impact on
its sanitary properties. Compliant with FDA standards.

Complete CORROFLON hose assemblies
TUBES INTERNATIONAL produces CORROFLON hose assemblies with fttings in two versions: PTFE lined fttings
(PTFE layer is extended through the ftting and fared out as the sealing face) and standard fttings ( non-lined fttings).
PTFE lined fttings
The internal layer of PTFE hose is extended through the
ftting and fared out as the sealing face. This construction
prevents any contact of the transferred medium with the
material of the ftting. Advantages:
- for aggressive media - the separation of transferred

- for food and pharmaceutical substances - the lack of
crevices (A) - places in which material particles may
be entrapped. It allows to ensure clean and sterile
system.
Non-lined fttings
CORROFLON hose can be equipped with standard fttings
used for PTFE hoses with thread and seal types as for
hydraulic fttings. Then this PTFE hose assembly is similar
to HYPERLINE V hose assemblies but its operation life is
much longer, resistance to bending, mechanical impact
and vacuum is higher, permeability is reduced. Available
with TRICLOVER, non-fared fttings as well.
CORROFLON hose assembly length limitations
Values given in the table above do not include the length of the fttings (ftting + ferrule), apply to versions in
stainless steel or plastic braid, without rubber cover. The values should be increased by 33% for rubber covered
hoses. The length of a complete hose assembly is taken as the length from the sealing face of the ftting at one
end of the assembly to the same at the other end. Length tolerance: from 0% to 10% - for lengths above 1 meter
and 0% to 5% - for lengths up to 1 meter.
The maximum working pressure of a hose assembly is determined by the lower from two values: hose
working pressure and ftting working pressure.

INDUSTRIAL HOSES - PTFE
The heating element comprises an electrical wire of particular resistance (or self-regulating) helically
wound along the hose. The hoses usually require a temperature sensor to be built in under the
insulation. The power leads and (if applicable) temperature sensor leads emerge from the hose
assembly at one end, through glands and conduits. The foam rubber is applied for thermal insulation
(silicone foam rubber for temperatures above +80C). The external cover - a polypropylene braid
or stainless steel wire braid with an additional cover made of rubber or waterproof PVC cover if
necessary.
Each ETH hose assembly is custom designed and built. Working conditions and requirements must
be supplied by flling in an ETH Questionnaire provided by TUBES INTERNATIONAL. Generally,
for Zone 1 of Hazardous Areas, the self-regulating type of heating element is employed, with or
without a temperature sensor and controller. Flameproof glands and conduits are also required.
The watts per meter of the heating element, the pitch of the helix on the hose and the thickness of
the thermal insulation are all calculated in accordance with a special formula in order to obtain the
temperature required for the process.

for loading and unloading of tanks and tank trucks.
Smooth internal layer ensures the maximum fow rate while reducing reloading time. Antistatic internal layer meets
the requirements for hoses designed for dry and liquid chlorine transfer as well as for liquid-gaseous compounds.
Each BIOFLEX HB is always delivered as a complete assembly with end fttings according to customer requirements.
It is mostly due to special tools and technology needed for such a production. For safety reasons each hose (above
3/4) is pressure tested with helium before assembling fttings and hydrostatically tested as a complete hose
assembly. NPT male thread ftting and DIN 477 female 1 ftting are standard for BIOFLEX HB hose. According to
customer requirements BIOFLEX HB can be assembled with swivel fanges made of stainless steel, PTFE lined
to prevent contact of the transferred medium with the material of the ftting in compliance with ASME B16,5 class
300; DIN or ISO standards. The fttings that may come into contact with the medium are made of Monel 400 or
Hastelloy C-276 (for application with wet chlorine).

developed to substitute rubber hoses with liners made of FEP, PFA MFA, XLPE or UHMWPE.
When compared to these hoses, CORROLINE is more fexible, more resistant to kinking and its
service live is longer. CORROLINE is an economical version of BIOFLEX hose but still with its
excellent properties such as resistance to cyclic bending, small permeability and the maximum

DIP PIPES - tube fttings
Rigid tube fttings, straight or 90 elbow, designed for
suction (or flling) of fuids from tanks, containers, drums,
etc. Made of antistatic (AS) PTFE as a standard. Available
in AISI 316 stainless steel, virgin PTFE or other materials.
Working pressure ranges from full vacuum to 3 bar.
Standard length of the tube is 1 m.
Other types of fttings
CORROLINE hose can be used with a variety of other fttings either standard or made according to customer
specifcations, e.g.:
- non-fared, straight or 90 elbow TRICLOVER fttings,
- imperial or metric fttings with standard sealing,
- tube fttings.

BIOFLON hose includes a smooth PTFE tube. It is reinforced with AISI 304 steel wire braid and
AISI 304 steel wire helix which is wound onto the braid and vulcanized into the rubber cover.
This construction allowed to satisfy market demand for smooth bore PTFE hoses in 2.1/2
and 3 diameter. When compared to its competitive counterparts, the construction of BIOFLON
is surely prevailing as there is no glue used which might contaminate the medium in case of
hose failure. Moreover, the use of virgin PTFE guarantees excellent chemical resistance (in
comparison to rubber hoses with FEP, PFA MFA, XLPE, UHMWPE liners).
The fexibility of BIOFLON hose is considerably limited. It is stiffer than rubber hoses - the
minimum bending radius is twice as large. Vacuum resistance depends on the temperature
and bending radius. If a hose undergoes constant bending and is frequently disassembled, it is
recommended to use CORROLINE or 2 BIOFLEX with larger end fttings, 2.1/2 or 3 nominal
diameter , or use 2.1/2 or 3 CORROFLON.
All BIOFLON versions are always supplied as complete hose assemblies with fttings, PTFE
lined (fared) fttings as well.
Transfer of chemicals, food and pharmaceutical substances, fuels, oils, paints, solvents,
adhesives, detergents, inks, steam, etc. - wherever excellent chemical resistance of PTFE and
smooth internal layer are of primary importance but fexibility is not that vital.
