PTFE lined pipe provides unmatched chemical resistance at temperatures to 260ºC. Because its carbon chains are completely fluoronated, PTFE is chemically inert to the following broad range of commercial chemicals:
- All acids including hydrofluoric, hydrochloric, sulphuric and aqua regia
- Chlorides - organic and inorganic
- Sulphates - organic and inorganic
- Bleach solutions
- Solvents
- Phenols
- Caustics
- Peroxides
Combined with the chemical inertness of PTFE are its usual non stick properties. Thus a PTFE lined pipe system eliminates and/or minimises build up of deposits on the pipe walls, which otherwise would reduce flow and possibly affect processing operations.
