Fluoropolymer resins and PEEK are essentially chemically inert. This has long been one of the greatest assets of these high-tech plastics. Fluoropolymers and our other engineered polymers are ideal as transport for today's highly volatile chemical compounds and exotic fluids.
The widespread acceptance within the Chemical, Environmental, Aerospace, and Medical industries is a testament to our polymers' unique abilities to withstand and resist a wide variety of liquid and gaseous compounds.
There are very few chemicals, such as molten alkali metals, turbulent liquid or gaseous fluorine, chlorine trifluoride, or oxygen difluoride, that are known to react with fluoropolymers
To a lesser degree, halogenated organic chemicals may be absorbed by fluoropolymer resins. This will cause a very slight change in weight or possibly a slight swelling. This phenomenon is less evident in FEP and PFA extrusions because they are relatively less permeable than PTFE extrusions.
If you would like samples of our fluoropolymer or other engineered tubing, or would like to discuss a specific application, we'd like to talk with you. Zeus has a generous sample program, making it easier than ever for engineers and designers to get stock and custom samples quickly.
