PFA Tubing For Water Testing, Medical Devices, Semiconductor And Life Sciences

PFA (perfluoroalkoxy) tubing is a high-performance fluoropolymer solution ideal for applications requiring exceptional chemical resistance and elevated temperature capabilities. Compared to FEP tubing, PFA tubing tolerates more chemically aggressive environments and operates at higher continuous service temperatures—up to 80°F. IDEX Health & Science’s PFA tubing is constructed using genuine Teflon™ PFA resin, ensuring superior purity, performance, and compatibility.

One of the key advantages of PFA tubing is its smooth inner surface and optical translucency, which allows users to monitor fluid flow visually. PFA also outperforms PTFE in polymer purity and offers better flexibility and lower stress cracking potential. These properties make it an excellent choice for critical applications in water quality testing, medical devices, life sciences, and semiconductor manufacturing, where both chemical stability and cleanliness are paramount.

IDEX Health & Science offers multiple PFA material grades, including ultra-high purity variants. The tubing features high dielectric strength, low friction, and precise manufacturing tolerances. Outer diameters can reach up to 0.500”, with inner diameters as small as 0.001”, and tolerances down to ±0.0005”. A wide range of OD/ID combinations are kept in stock, with custom dimensions available upon request.

With its combination of thermal stability, optical clarity, chemical resistance, and mechanical reliability, PFA tubing is a top choice for demanding applications that require durability, purity, and exacting performance. Whether in medical, analytical, or high-tech settings, IDEX Health & Science PFA tubing delivers consistent, dependable results.
