FEP Tubing For Water Testing, Medical Devices, Semiconductor And Life Sciences

idex tubing

FEP tubing, made from fluorinated ethylene-propylene resin, is an excellent alternative to PFA and PTFE Teflon tubing, offering similar properties and unique advantages. Its chemical inertness and biocompatibility make it ideal for biopharmaceutical, medical, laboratory, and semiconductor applications, especially in low-pressure environments.

IDEX Health & Science produces high-quality FEP tubing using genuine Teflon™ FEP resin, ensuring exceptional chemical resistance and a low coefficient of friction. The tubing’s flexibility allows for easy cutting and forming, while its translucent design enables visual monitoring of solutions. It can operate at temperatures up to 50°C, depending on connection parameters, although higher temperatures may reduce pressure ratings.

FEP tubing offers superior manufacturing precision with tolerances as tight as ±0.0005”, and it is available in various inner diameters (as small as 0.001”) and outer diameters (up to 0.500”). With multiple color options, it supports easy identification for complex fluidic systems. Custom sizes and dimensions can also be requested to meet specific application needs.

Common applications for FEP tubing include water quality testing, medical device tubing, life sciences, and semiconductor processes. Its high dielectric strength and optical clarity further enhance its versatility.

With its combination of durability, precision, and adaptability, IDEX Health & Science FEP tubing provides a reliable solution for demanding environments, supporting consistent performance across a range of industries.
