PTFE Conductive Tube

About PTFE Conductive Tube

Conductive PTFE tube — also called antistatic PTFE tube — is PTFE tubing compounded with carbon so that static charge drains away instead of accumulating on the bore. It addresses one of the most critical safety concerns in fluid transfer: a fast-moving, low-conductivity fluid such as fuel, solvent or dry powder builds an electrostatic charge against an insulating wall, and in ordinary PTFE that charge has nowhere to go.

PTFE (Poly tetra-fluoroethylene) tube was originally designed for high-end applications, but over the last 20 years it has found universal use across consumer and industrial sectors. PTFE tubes are broadly classified into three categories based on diameter and wall thickness: spaghetti tubing (0.2–8mm, thinnest), pressure hose (mid-range), and pipe liner (thickest wall). They can also be classified by variant — including multi-lumen, corrugated/convoluted, split tube, heat shrinkable, filled, and conductive/anti-static.
