Much like our heavy wall tubing, this fractional sized tubing is ideal for many industrial applications where high pressure and abrasion resistance are required. This tubing possesses all of the beneficial properties of fluoropolymers, which have made them the preferred materials for a broad spectrum of uses today.
Zeus extrudes industrial wall (fractional sized) tubing for applications requiring a more robust wall thickness than standard wall or thin wall tubing. This thick-walled tubing is ideal for fluid handling where higher pressures are needed and for applications involving air handling and transport, which demand heightened functionality.

Zeus industrial wall tubing can be made from a variety of resins, including PTFE, FEP, PFA, and ETFE. We can color the tubing for branding purposes to allow end users to differentiate between tubing lines on a single device. With most fluoropolymer resins, we can color the tubing to make it opaque or retain some degree of translucence for optical clarity. Our industrial wall tubing is also suitable for several other value-add services, such as forming retractable coils, which are commonly used in air lines for pneumatic tools and similar uses.
We extrude our industrial wall tubing in various lengths, typically ranging from 25 – 250 feet (7.6 –76.2 m). With melt resins such as FEP and PFA, however, we can extrude products from these resins in lengths ranging from 500 – 1000 ft (152.4 – 304.8 m). We can also provide these tubing products cut to length or in continuous lengths as coils or on spools.
For wall thickness, we can extrude industrial wall tubing in thicknesses ranging from 0.015″ (0.381 mm) to 0.040″ (1.016 mm), depending on the inside/outside diameter combination for your application.

Aerospace – Industrial wall tubing products are more durable than their thinner-walled counterparts, allowing them to better endure the rigors of the environments encountered in aerospace applications.
Automotive – Industrial wall tubing is also suited to a variety of areas for automotive uses where lubricity, chemical resistance, and strength are required; these applications can include brake lines, pneumatic actuator lines, or power steering hoses.
Energy – For the oil and gas industry, Zeus industrial wall tubing delivers excellent protection for probes, cables, and other devices while offering polymer options with excellent flammability ratings.
Fluid Management – For this application, customers choose our industrial wall tubing when they need added burst pressure. This type of tubing lends itself to a variety of fluid management applications where strength is the primary concern.
Fiber Optics – Industrial wall tubing is a great option for protecting delicate fiber optics, particularly in harsh conditions.
Laboratory – Industrial wall tubing is highly suited for laboratory plumbing where high pressures are often encountered, such as with larger chromatography systems or for hoses connecting gas cylinders. Our industrial wall tubing also helps prevent the tubing from collapsing for applications requiring a vacuum.
Strength – Available in multiple resins, Zeus industrial wall tubing allows you to take advantage of the benefits of fluoropolymers while giving you the option for a significant upgrade in strength through increased wall thickness. The added wall thickness also increases the burst pressure of the tube.
Increased burst pressure – For areas such as oil and gas exploration, which may require large volumes of fluid flow, or down to laboratory-size tubing, where very high pressures are common, Zeus industrial walled tubing products provide the added burst pressure you need for your application.
Abrasion resistance – The polymer resins we use to make industrial wall tubing are all extremely tough and provide a superior resistance to abrasion for the protection of fragile wires and cables or other sensitive materials.
