Chemical-resistant FEP hose
AdvantaPure, the sanitary tubing and hose division of NewAge Industries, announces the immediate availability of rubber-covered FEP hose in a new style for increased flexibility
Apfos is constructed of a virgin PTFE core overbraided with series 300 stainless steel wire.
The core provides non-restrictive flow and an inert surface to transport critical fluids.
Apfos handles temperatures ranging from -65F to 450F; -54C to 232C.
The steel reinforcement permits higher pressure uses, improves flexibility, reduces the possibility of kinking, and protects the core.
Stock offerings consist of white or conductive black PTFE fluoropolymer cores in smooth or convoluted styles.
Smooth core hose provides maximum flow, while convoluted offers enhanced flexibility.
Silicone jacketed Apfos (ApfosJ) is available in white core in either smooth or convoluted core (conductive black is available through custom order).
The silicone offers a degree of heat protection, making the hose easier to handle in higher temperature applications.
It also provides a smooth exterior to eliminate particle entrapment and allows the surface to be wiped clean.
In addition, the silicone jacket presents a suitable surface for AdvantaLabel, the AdvantaPure silicone label attachment system.
Apfos sizes range from 1/4in through 4inch nominal ID, depending on style.
Custom options include hose assemblies with crimped-on or flare-through ends, non-stock sizes, special packaging, and identification solutions.
Rubber-covered FEP fluoropolymer hose is stocked as well.
