Trelleborg Industries UK TPE are a copolymer mixture of a rubber and a plastic and exhibit properties of both materials. TPEs require virtually no compounding, reinforcing agents, stabilizers or curing agents, providing consistent batch to batch properties. When extruded into tubing, the material is translucent, flexible, resists kinking, making it ideally suited for pumping and fluid transfer applications.

GEHR PVDF® shows a higher tensile strength, pressure resistance and dimensional stability than the related PTFE, but friction and insulation properties are lower. PVDF has a high mechanical strength and toughness at lower temperature and it’s self-extinguishing. The operating temperature ranges from -30 °C to +150 °C. PVDF shows a high resistance to chlorine, bromine and high-energy radiation.

FluoroFlex™ ePTFE Tubes is the material of choice for a variety of applications including bending sections, instrument covers, stent covers, endoscopic working channels, ozone delivery, vascular devices and aeration and deaeration of caustic fluids (to name a few). IPE manufactures ePTFE tubes to customer specifications from 0.7mm to 22mm I.D. with wall thicknesses ranging from .05mm to 1mm. Tubes are extruded in ePTFE and are used for medical, chemical, electrical and mechanical components where the outstanding performance characteristics of ePTFE are required.

FluoroFlex™ ePTFE Rods are the material of choice for a variety of applications including sutures, strain relief devices, facial implants, sewing thread, filtration, and wicking devices (to name a few). IPE manufactures ePTFE rods to customer specifications from 0.20mm to 9.5mm O.D. and can be spooled or cut to length. Rods are extruded of ePTFE and are used for all kinds of medical, chemical, electrical and mechanical components where the outstanding performance characteristics of ePTFE are required.
