Zeus
manufactures a variety of fluoropolymer resins for numerous applications. The finished tubing from these different resins can be visually similar, especially if the tubing has
pigment added to it.
The following describes several aspects of the visual appearance of
Zeus tubing that may be helpful in choosing and working with the finished products.
Fluoropolymer
Tubing
Most fluoropolymer tubing, whether it be PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), FEP (Fluorinatedethylenepropylene), PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy), ETFE (Ethylenetetrafluoroethylene), or one of the many other resins
Zeus extrudes, appears a clear to milky white color in its natural, unpigmented state. The clearest fluoropolymer resin is
PFA HP, which allows for a high level of light transmission.
FEP is quite clear as well, while PTFE material tends to be more milky in color. Levels of clarity can be modified to some extent
by different processing methods and
through the use of a variety of
resin grades at
Zeus.
Pigmented
Tubing
Pigmented tubing is available in virtually any color you desire. From the brightest fluorescent yellows, pinks and oranges to the most opaque blues and blacks,
Zeus offers the widest range of colors available in fluoropolymer tubing. Levels of translucency and transparency can be modified to meet your specifications, and samples of many colors are available for inspection at no charge.
Zeus can even match a specific color currently at use in your product line through the use of color swatches. We also manufacture pigmented tubing to specific colors on the PantoneŽ color charts.
Inspection
Procedures
Zeus inspection procedures insure all tubing meets the stringent quality standards our customers require. Medical Grade Inspection is available for all products
Zeus manufactures, whether or not a medical application is the end use. This can limit the level of foreign matter to less than 25 percent of the OD. We constantly inspect for any particulate matter that may limit performance in your application. Our Class
7 clean rooms assures you of the utmost attention to your purity needs.
Zeus exceeds the highest cleanliness standards set forth in the most demanding industries and applications. You can be assured of the purest, highest quality tubing available when using
Zeus tubing.
Inspection
Standards
All Zeus tubing is
visually inspected inline by our highly trained
quality
control personnel,
combined with our exclusive array of dual axis Zumbach laser micrometers. We are constantly inspecting for any particulate matter that may limit performance in your application.
Zeus routinely limits particulate matter to less than .020", and we strive to supply the cleanest tubing available for the most stringent requirements possible. As a pioneer in fluoropolymer extrusion technology,
Zeus provides virtually flawless products unrivaled in the industry.
