Altaflo 480-0250-040-0C 1/4" OD x 0.170" ID x 0.040" Wall ALTAFLUOR® 480 Series Clear Ultra High Purity PFA Tubing, 1' Length

THV FLEX (tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene-vinylidene fluoride) tubing has a unique combination of properties making it the preferred choice for many applications. ALTAFLUOR® 350 THV Flex tubing is ideal for use in applications requiring excellent UV light transmission combined with the safety and flexibility of plastic. ALTAFLUOR® 350 THV FLEX tubing has the flexibility of traditional PVC flex tubing, combined with chemical resistance much closer to that of FEP. THV is available in a variety of compositions each designed for specific performance values. ALTAFLUOR® 350 THV FLEX SERIES is produced exclusively from Dyneon™ THV 221 grade resin which allows for greatest flexibility, permeation resistance, and good chemical resistance, but with slightly reduced upper service temperature over other grades. ALTAFLUOR® 350 also has excellent bondability with other materials which allows for multi layer extrusions. Typical applications include automotive fuel transport systems, laboratory, solar energy, UV purification systems, fiber optic, and chemical process.

MFA (perfluoro methyl alkoxy) is a co-polymer of terafluoroethylene and perfluoromethyl vinyl ether. MFA is similar in characteristics and performance to PFA. ALTAFLUOR 600 MFA Tubing and pipe products have superior clarity over standard PFA products. Like PFA resins, ALTAFLUOR 600 resins provide excellent stress crack and chemical resistance. It has purity levels equal or better than most standard PFA resins. Additionally, the ultra-smooth surface finish of ALTAFLUOR 600 tubing products make them ideal for applications requiring quick and easy clean out. ALTAFLUOR 600 MFA tubing is recommended for applications involving UV transmission and visible spectrums. For chemical applications not exceeding 480 °F, ALTAFLUOR 600 tubing and pipe may prove to be cost effective options. ALTAFLUOR 600 tubing may be used with flare or conventional fittings. ALTAFLUOR600 MFA PIPE may be joined using conventional threaded fittings or welded.

Typical applications for ALTAFLUOR 600 Tubing are:

• Chemical Process
• Paint Spray
• Electrical Insulation
• Heat Exchangers
• Semiconductor
• Automotive

PVDF FLEX (polyvinylidene fluoride - commonly known by the trade name KYNAR FLEX®) is a more flexible version of PVDF tubing suitable for use with flare fittings. ALTAFLUOR® 550 Tubing is resistant to many commonly used industrial fluids and gasses, including ozone, and does not support the growth of fungi. For this reason ALTAFLUOR® 550 tubing is preferred for water disinfecting processes involving ozone such as aquarium, spa, pool, and agriculture. Additionally, ALTAFLUOR® 550 tubing and pipe products are ideal for applications with exposure to less aggressive chemicals and lower temperature exposure (over FEP or PFA) or those requiring low extractable levels. ALTAFLUO® 550 PVDF tubing is available in standard and metric sizes and is suitable for use with conventional or flare fittings. Typical applications for ALTAFUOR® 550 are chemical process, semiconductor, water process systems, aquarium, and ozone.

PTFE tubing is the most flexible of all fluoropolymer tubing offered. ALTAFLUOR® 100 PTFE tubing has the broadest temperature range of any fluoropolymer and can resist highly corrosive liquids and gases even at elevated temperatures. The smooth surface finish and lowest coefficient of friction & lubricity make the tubing, pipe, or rod ideal for bushing or bearing applications. ALTAFLUOR® 100 PTFE tubing is compatible with most standard fittings (not suitable for use with flare-type fittings). Some common applications include laboratory, chemical process, analytical and process equipment, emissions monitoring, cryogenic, high temperature, electrical, ozone, and automotive.

FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) tubing is an economical choice for tubing applications requiring chemical resistance in combination with broad temperature exposure. ALTAFLUOR® 200 FEP tubing and pipe offer excellent clarity which makes them ideal for sight glass and other flow monitoring applications. Additionally, the outstanding UV transmission rate of FEP makes the tubing a clear choice for UV water purification systems in straight lengths or coiled hose constructions. ALTAFLUOR® 200 tubing may be used with flare or conventional fittings. Some applications include chemical process, aquatic, laboratory applications, UV water purification systems, ground water monitoring, ground remediation, food processing, electrical insulation, telecommunications, conduit, heat exchangers, and automotive paint spray.

ALTAFLUOR® 400 Series PFA tubing is the tubing of choice for applications involving extreme chemical resistance combined with high temperature exposure. PFA (perfluoroalkoxy) is suitable for even the most demanding applications. ALTAFLUOR® 400 is compatible with flare or conventional type fittings. Some general applications include chemical process, heat exchangers, laboratory applications, semiconductor, flow monitoring, emissions monitoring, double containment systems, food processing, electrical insulation, and automotive.
