Swagelok® PTFE and PFA Core Hose
Swagelok PTFE and PFA core hoses’ long life, high flexibility, strong chemical resistance, enhanced permeation resistance, and ease of cleaning make them ideal choices for controlling costs in a broad range of general and specialty applications.
View PTFE and PFA Core HosesSwagelok PTFE and PFA hoses are available in smooth bore, convoluted, and hybrid options to meet varying cleanliness, flexibility, and permeation resistance needs. All Swagelok PTFE and PFA hoses are pressure tested to ensure they meet our strict quality standards. Select hoses can be constructed with carbon black filled core materials to provide static dissipation.
PTFE hoses can be heat-treated, or “sintered”, to improve permeation resistance, reducing costs and safety risks related to gas leaks. We offer slow-sintered or post-sintered options that limit gas leakage substantially better than non-sintered hoses, and our post-sintered hoses’ gas permeation resistance is among the best in the industry.
Swagelok PFA hoses’ smooth-bore core and flexibility make them ideal for sanitary applications. A smooth inner wall provides less restricted flow and enhanced drainability for precision and cleanliness. The silicone cover washes down easily to prevent bacterial buildup, protects stainless steel braiding, protects against burns, and helps maintain process temperatures.
