Fluoropolymer Tubing with Exceptional Chemical and Thermal Resistance
RCT offers a broad selection of fluoroplastic tubes in a wide range of dimensions and configurations, starting from an inner diameter (I.D.) of just 0.3 mm. Available in both thin-wall and thick-wall versions, these tubes can optionally be manufactured with antistatic or conductive properties. For high-pressure applications, braided products are offered, while corrugated versions (flexible conduits) ensure greater flexibility. Many of these tubes comply with FDA, BfR, and European Pharmacopoeia standards, making them ideal for sensitive industries such as food and pharmaceuticals. The portfolio also includes coloured micro tubes and analysis tubing for laboratory use.
Capillary Tubes, High-Pressure Lines and More: The Fluoropolymer Tubing Range at RCT
RCT's product range includes high-performance tubing made from FEP, PFA, ECTFE, ETFE, and PVDF. These materials are known for their outstanding chemical and thermal stability. Tubes are available in short lengths directly from stock and can be used in a variety of applications—such as analysis lines, microtubing, antistatic tubing, shrink tubing, gas lines, heated tubes, and high-pressure tubing. Capillary tubing with inner diameters as small as 0.25 mm, as well as suction and pressure lines for technical and industrial use, are also part of the offering.
