Orange-Colored Teflon FEP Tubing is a flexible, translucent fluoropolymer tube made from FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene). It is the preferred material for small-diameter tubing supplied in continuous lengths, because it combines the chemical inertness and dielectric properties of PTFE with better clarity, flexibility and melt-processability. The orange color is used as a visual identification aid in semiconductor wet benches, chemical injection lines, laboratory and food-processing systems. FEP tubing is an economical choice for applications that require chemical resistance and broad temperature exposure, and it is available in a wide range of standard sizes or custom dimensions on request.
Orange-Colored Teflon FEP Tubing is a flexible tube extruded from FEP resin — a melt-processable fluoropolymer with a chemical structure similar to PTFE. Unlike PTFE, which cannot be melt-extruded, FEP can be processed into continuous lengths of small-diameter tubing with excellent dimensional consistency. FEP retains most of PTFE's chemical inertness and dielectric strength, while offering better clarity, flexibility and UV transmission. The working temperature range is −200 °C to +205 °C, slightly lower than PTFE but still suitable for the vast majority of chemical, semiconductor and food-processing duties.
The orange color is added as a visual identification aid, commonly used in semiconductor wet benches, chemical injection lines and laboratory systems to distinguish one fluid path from another. FEP tubing is non-wetting, non-stick and has a very low coefficient of friction, so liquids drain completely and material build-up is minimised. It contains no plasticiser, does not absorb moisture (water absorption < 0.01 %) and is FDA compliant for food-contact applications. FEP tubing is available in straight lengths or coils, in a wide range of standard sizes and custom dimensions, and can be ordered in various colors to meet your identification requirements.
