Plastic Connectors Made of HDPE, POM, PP, TPX, PP, as Well as Fluoroplastics PTFE and PVDF
Plastic connectors are important components for tubing in laboratories and industrial operations, with the wide range of materials allowing for solutions tailored to temperature and chemical resistance parameters. Our product range offers fittings made from materials such as HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), POM (Delrin), PP (Polypropylene), TPX (Polymethylpentene), PVDF (Solef®/Kynar®), and PTFE (THOMAFLON).
Product Characteristics of Hose Connectors
- Plastic Connectors Made of HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene)
This plastic is used for food packaging, the production of bottles/liquid containers, canisters, tanks, and barrels. In contrast, HDPE is also used for hoses that convey liquids and gases. Due to its mechanical strength, it is favored in mechanical engineering for the production of gears, bearings, and bushings. HDPE fabrics are available for filtration needs in chemical production/chemical process technology.
- Plastic Connectors Made of POM (Delrin®)
Delrin is characterized by its high toughness and abrasion resistance with a low coefficient of friction; it also boasts remarkable dimensional stability and thermal properties. In laboratory equipment and small-scale production, POM/Delrin is used, especially since the material can be steam sterilized at +121 °C. POM is an ideal plastic for the production of quick-connect couplings, valves, and faucets.
- Plastic Connectors Made of PP (Polypropylene/Hostalen-PP®)
Polypropylene is known for its lasting thermal and mechanical strength; the material is physiologically safe and is used in the production of medical products, such as spatulas, syringes, disposable items, and containers. Because of its physiological safety, products made from polypropylene are used to convey sensitive media and liquids in medical technology, biochemical laboratories, and the pharmaceutical industry.
- Plastic Connectors Made of TPX (Polymethylpentene)
Polymethylpentene is used in the production of laboratory equipment that was previously made of glass, such as measuring cylinders, flasks, Erlenmeyer flasks, and beakers. These lab devices are particularly needed where high safety standards are required, such as in radioactive environments or gene laboratories.
- Plastic Connectors Made of PA 6.6 (Polyamide 6.6/Nylon)
PA 6.6 is used in chemical production hoses as conveying hoses for chemical production and in mechanical engineering, where nylon is needed for the production of sliding bearings, bushings, and gears. Its mechanical strength makes it suitable for these applications, as well as for the production of cable ties, screens, nuts, and bushings.
- Plastic Connectors Made of PVDF (Solef®/Kynar®/Polyvinylidene Fluoride)
This fluoroplastic is known for its excellent chemical resistance, especially for coating corrosion-prone parts. It is used to line pipes, bends, and containers, primarily in chemical plant construction. Its physiological properties make it suitable for use in medical technology and the food industry. In laboratories and chemical plants, PVDF hoses are valued and are available as corrugated pipes and tubes. A special application is the production of shrink tubing/heat shrink tubing made from PVDF, available in various shrink ratios. In medical and biochemical laboratories, PVDF membranes/membrane filters are appreciated as bacterial filters, especially for the sterile filtration of water or other physiological solutions.
- Plastic Connectors Made of PTFE (THOMAFLON/Chemfluor®/Polytetrafluoroethylene)
This fluoroplastic is known for its almost absolute chemical resistance. PTFE/THOMAFLON is especially useful for coating metal surfaces when reliable corrosion protection is required. In the chemical industry and process technology, PTFE coatings for pipelines and containers are standard. The material is also used for the production of hoses, such as micro hoses, shrink tubing, and heat shrink tubing, as well as for the production of conveying hoses in laboratories and industrial operations, including corrugated tubes, pipes, and capillary tubes. Additionally, PTFE is used for the production of valves, fittings, and faucets in both laboratory technology and large-scale chemical applications. It is physiologically safe, making it suitable for use in food-grade applications and recognized as a food-grade hose.

The Right Hose Connector Offers Flexibility, but Is Not Flexible Itself
Plastic fittings are indispensable in laboratories and industrial processes due to their versatility and adaptability. Materials such as HDPE, POM, PP, TPX, PA 6.6, PVDF, and PTFE each offer specific advantages that make them ideal for different applications. HDPE connectors are robust and chemically resistant, making them perfect for demanding industrial applications. POM connectors offer high toughness and are steam sterilizable, making them particularly valuable in laboratory settings. PP connectors are chemically resistant and physiologically safe, ideal for medical and pharmaceutical applications. TPX connectors replace glass in laboratories where safety is crucial. PA 6.6 connectors are mechanically strong and versatile in mechanical engineering. PVDF and PTFE stand out for their excellent chemical resistance and suitability for corrosive environments. This variety of materials allows hose systems to be flexibly adapted to specific requirements, increasing their efficiency in a wide range of applications.
