All our T-Series hoses meet USP Class VI & FDA Criteria. All liners are extra thick to provide better flex life and less permeation, with anti-static tube options available. Ace Sanitary also uses high-grade PTFE resins in their over-braid products for extraordinary performance.
PTFE lined hoses are engineered for demanding fluid transfer applications across industrial, pharmaceutical, and sanitary environments. They feature an inner liner made from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a fluoropolymer valued for its chemical resistance, temperature tolerance, and low friction properties. The liner is reinforced with high-strength braiding or over-braiding to support pressure resistance while maintaining flexibility.
This construction allows PTFE lined hoses to transport aggressive, corrosive, or high-purity media without reacting with or contaminating the material being conveyed. PTFE does not readily absorb fluids or leach compounds, making it well suited for applications where cleanliness and consistent performance are critical.
Compared to rubber, silicone, or metal hoses, PTFE lined hoses offer broader chemical compatibility and a wider operating temperature range. Rubber and silicone can degrade or become limited in harsh environments, while metal hoses lack flexibility. PTFE lined hoses provide a balanced solution that combines durability, flexibility, and resistance in a single assembly.
One of the primary benefits of PTFE lined hoses is their ability to perform reliably in high-pressure applications. The combination of an extra-thick PTFE liner and high-grade reinforcement helps maintain structural integrity under pressure, reducing the risk of failure and extending hose service life. This is especially important in continuous or high-throughput operations where downtime can be costly.
Chemical resistance is another key advantage. PTFE is resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, solvents, and corrosive media. This allows PTFE lined hoses to be used across multiple processes without frequent replacement, supporting safer handling and more consistent performance in chemical-intensive environments.
Flexibility and durability further distinguish PTFE lined hoses from conventional options. The low-friction interior supports smooth product flow and minimizes buildup, while the hose construction resists cracking, permeation, and wear. These properties contribute to longer service intervals and reduced maintenance demands.
PTFE lined hoses are widely used across industries that require dependable, contamination-resistant fluid transfer. In the food and beverage industry, they support sanitary processes by maintaining product purity while handling flavorings, cleaning agents, and temperature fluctuations. Their smooth interior surfaces also aid in cleanability and process efficiency.
In pharmaceutical and chemical applications, fluoropolymer lined hoses are relied upon to safely transfer aggressive or hazardous materials. Their chemical resistance and compliance with regulatory standards make them well suited for high-purity environments where material integrity and traceability are essential. Industrial manufacturers also use PTFE lined hoses in transport, processing, and production systems that demand consistent performance under challenging conditions.
Selecting the right PTFE lined hose begins with understanding application requirements. Factors such as pressure rating, temperature range, bend radius, and chemical compatibility should be carefully evaluated to ensure optimal performance. Hose length, end connections, and reinforcement style may also influence suitability.
Customization plays an important role in meeting specific operational needs. Ace Sanitary offers engineered, made-to-order PTFE lined hose assemblies without minimum order quantities, allowing clients to specify materials and configurations that align with their processes. This approach helps ensure each hose assembly supports long-term reliability, safety, and efficiency in its intended application.
