Silicone hose Imaflexxie®

PTFEhigh-temperaturehigh-pressure

Product Overview
Imaflexxie® is PTFE tubing reinforced with an SS 304 braid and finished with a platinum-cured silicone outer cover. It is built for pressurised fluid transfer while maintaining excellent chemical compatibility. The inner bore is ultra-smooth for improved flow and reduced particulate adhesion. The silicone outer cover gives thermal insulation and protects external surfaces from contamination.
