NewAge® Industries offers one of the widest assortments of tubing products made of fluoropolymers. New Age® can meet most any need for wide variety of plastic and rubber tubing. Materials that meet 3A, NSF, USP Class VI, and other requirements include PVC, silicone, fluoropolymer, TPR (thermoplastic rubber), latex, nylon, polypropylene, polyethylene, and more. NewAge® now offers stainless steel overbraided PTFE hose for demanding applications involving automotive, chemical, and petrochemical uses.
Smooth Core PTFE Tubing with Stainless Steel Overbraiding
Smooth core STAINLESS STEEL OVERBRAIDED PTFE HOSE is constructed of extruded virgin PTFE material with a 300
stainless steel wire braid reinforcement jacket. The core is inert and offers long flexural life, low permeability,
non-flammability, and the lowest coefficient of friction of any solid material.
The overbraid permits higher pressure uses, reduces the possibility of kinking, and generally protects the core.
Black conductive core hose works well in applications where static charge must be dissipated, such as those
involving high resistivity fluids or gases at high velocity.
Flush cleaning of the hose to eliminate manufacturing residue is recommended prior to use.
Central States Hose, Inc. distributes New Age Industries hose products.

Fluoropolymer material is recognized for its excellent resistance to heat — up to 500°F continuously.
Lesser known is its usefulness in extremely cold temperatures — well below -200°F. It will remain reasonably
flexible to -110°F.
Because fluoropolymers are almost universally inert to industrial chemicals and solvents, their use for
corrosion protection has become one of their largest growth areas. With few exceptions, fluoropolymer tubing
can handle virtually any corrosive chemical in use today.
Teflon has the lowest coefficient of friction of any solid material known to man. It is used as a non-stick coating
for pans and other cookware. Teflon is very unreactive, and so is often used in containers and pipework for reactive
chemicals. Its melting point varies between 260 °C (FEP) and 327 °C (PTFE), depending on which specific teflon resin
is being discussed.
Teflon is sometimes said to be a spin-off from the US space program with more down-to-earth applications; this is
an urban legend, as teflon cooking pans were commonplace before Yuri Gagarin's flight in 1961. PTFE was discovered
serendipitously by Roy Plunkett of DuPont in 1939, while attempting to make a new CFC refrigerant. DuPont patented
it in 1941, and registered the Teflon trademark in 1944.
Fluoropolymers are some of the most versatile engineering materials known and, since their discovery over
60 years ago, have been used in nearly every field of modern industry, technology, and science. Their
non-stick properties became commonly recognized by the consuming public when E. I. DuPont began marketing his
“Teflon®” brand product for use on cookware, as a fiber treatment for stain resistance, and in other household
applications.
