Thermo-contractile fluoroplastic tubes-PTFE,FEP,PFA,MFA
The high-temperature, chemical resistant TEXfluor* resins make our thermo-contractile tubes the best option for exposed environments, where chemicals and high temperatures are present.
 |
The thermo-contractile fluoropolymer TEXfluor*PTFE and FEP tubes are approved by USP Class VI, and meet FDA standards, which make them a good option for hundreds of medical applications or in the food industry |
 |
The thermo-contractile TEXfluor*MFA tubes were created for the automotive industry and incorporate a high-temperature working range with exceptional flexibility |
 |
The thermo-contractile TEXfluor*PFA tubes offer the high-temperature range of the TEXfluor*PTFE, as well as the low thermo-contracting temperatures of the TEXfluor* FEP tubes |
Additionally, we offer size and color according to your needs, as well as added valuable services such as special angle cuts, sliding and shrinkage. Do you want to know more? Just ask us.
TexLoc* has a great variety of sizes of high temperature contracted tubes, which we keep stored in our 56,000sq.ft. warehouse. This allows us to satisfy our clients at the fastest delivery rates within the industry.

Spiral fluoroplastic tubes
The Texloc* spiral tube is a retractable spiral made in TEXfluor*, PTFE, FEP or PFA, designed to resist chemical or corrosive applications. Due to the low coefficient of friction of fluoroplastics, these spiral tubes offer the possibility of a constant flow. These also have the property of not absorbing moisture and may be manufactured with certain low refractive resins, to be thus utilized in situations where the operator needs to actually see the fluids running through the tube.
The length of our spiral tubes is offered according to clients’ requirements or in our standard lengths. Sizes go from 1/16” (1.58mm) to 1” (25.4mm). Our department of additional services can also include several fittings or produce special terminals to satisfy your needs. For further information, please contact us.
