Resumen Los tubos de politetrafluoroetileno (PTFE) son famosos por su excepcional inercia química, su resistencia a altas temperaturas y su superficie de baja fricción, lo que los convierte en un material fundamental en sectores que van desde el aeroespacial y el procesamiento químico hasta los dispositivos médicos y la impresión 3D. Sin embargo, la vida útil de estos tubos no es un valor absoluto, sino que depende de una compleja interacción de [...]
PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is known for its corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and low friction, and is called the “king of plastics.” But common questions on the engineering side are: Is PTFE tubing flexible? Can it bend in a small space? How does it perform compared to extruded tubing, corrugated tubing, and metal braided reinforced tubing? This article helps […]
3D printing relies on precise components to ensure smooth operations and high-quality results, and PTFE tubing plays a key role in making this happen. But what exactly does it do in 3D printing? Let’s explore its main uses, dive deeper into technical details, and look at real-world applications to understand why it’s a top choice for printers. 1. Feeding High-Temperature Filaments In FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printers, […]
Having safety and hygiene as a top priority in the food industry is never enough. One of the materials that really do an impressive job is PTFE Tubing in this aspect. Owing to its amazing resistance to chemicals and ultra-durability, PTFE tubing has now been a choice made by more and more people for the most diverse […]
