PTFE - The Optimum Choice For Hose Linings PTFE, or Polytetrafluoroethylene, comprises long-chain molecules of carbon atoms, each linked to two fluorine Section from a PTFE Molecule, 16 Angstrom Units long. atoms. The fluorine atoms provide a helical spiral which surrounds the carbon chain and protects it. It is this structure which creates the unique properties for which PTFE is well-known. Excellent Chemical Resistance PTFE is renowned as the most chemically resistant material known. Only a very few, very unusual substances and conditions can affect it, like Fluorine gas at high temperature...

Aflex Hose and CORROFLON The World’s Leading Manufacturer of PTFE Flexible Hose Aflex Hose pioneered the concept of PTFE lined flexible hose for the transfer of process fluids more than 30 years ago. Corroflon convoluted bore and Bioflex, Corroline and Pharmaline smoothbore hose, all manufactured and supplied by Aflex, are used by major Chemical, Pharmaceutical and Food companies worldwide. Over the years, hundreds of thousands of custom-built hoses have been designed and built to cope with the most difficult of operating conditions, and we have continuously developed and expanded our product...

Corroflon Hose: Special Usage Conditions Cleaning & Sterilising Systems - CIP, SIP and Autoclave CIP & SIP – PTFE liner tubes are chemically resistant to all CIP, SIP and Autoclave conditions. The primary consideration is whether the cleaning and purging cycle is likely to develop an electrostatic charge on the internal surface of the liner, in which case AS (Anti-Static) grade hose is required. AS grade hose and Electrostatic charge generating systems are fully described in the hose liner section. CIP systems using high electrical resistivity solvents like Toluene will require AS grade hose....

How to Order Corroflon Hose Assemblies How to Order The quantity, hose size, liner, braid, cover, protection system, length and fittings must be selected and specified in full. Corroflon is available with a range of ‘standard’ end fittings (described on pages 15-32), both integral PTFE lined and non-lined EITHER by a full, written description. The hose grade can be specified by the code initials e.g. “Corroflon AS, SS, RC, DRC-300” defines an antistatic PTFE lined hose with an EPDM rubber cover over a SS braid, with a double rubber cover at both ends. Stainless Steel End Fitting Materials The...

Corroflon Hose Liners GP - General Purpose Liner AS - Antistatic PTFE Liner Purpose Corroflon AS grade is an essential requirement in applications where there is the risk of an electrostatic charge build-up on the inside surface of the PTFE tube which may then discharge through the tube wall. Media passing through which create such a risk are fluids which have a Conductance of less than 10-8 S/m (Siemens per Metre), or 104 pS/m such as fuels, solvents, freons, some WFI (ultra-pure “Water for Injection”) and nonpolar organics which are being transferred at a medium to high flow velocity. Corroflon...
