Details
A PTFE smooth bore hose is a high-performance hose designed for maximum chemical resistance, excellent temperature tolerance, and non-stick flow characteristics.
Its smooth inner wall ensures low friction, prevents media build-up, and makes cleaning easy, making it ideal for hygienic, corrosive, and high-purity applications.
Construction
-
Inner Tube
-
Virgin PTFE resin (FDA-approved for food contact if required)
-
Smooth bore for improved flow and easy cleaning.
-
-
Reinforcement Options
-
Stainless steel wire braid (SS304 or SS316) for high pressure.
-
Polypropylene braid for non-metallic requirements.
-
-
Outer Cover (Optional)
-
Silicone, EPDM, or PVC coating for abrasion protection.
-
Typical Specifications
-
Size Range: 1/8" to 2" (DN3 – DN50)

-
Food & Beverage – dairy, juice, sauces, and edible oils.
-
Pharmaceutical & Biotech – sterile and high-purity fluid transfer.
-
Paints & Coatings – solvent-based materials without degradation.
-
Industrial Gas Transfer – oxygen, nitrogen, and other gases.
-
Steam Service – high-temp cleaning and sterilization.
Advantages
-
Extreme chemical and temperature tolerance.
-
Smooth bore design for improved flow and easy flushing.
-
Long service life even under harsh conditions.
-
Flexible yet kink-resistant (especially with braid reinforcement).
