flexibility and durability
PTFE hoses excel in both flexibility and durability. PTFE’s inherent toughness allows the hose to maintain its shape and structural integrity even after long-term cyclic use.
We are a professional manufacturer and supplier with 20 years of experience in PTFE flexible hose production.
High-Quality and Affordable
PTFE hoses strike an exceptional balance between high quality and cost-effectiveness, catering to the needs of both budget-conscious buyers and industries with strict performance standards.
Enhanced Flow Efficiency
Enhanced flow efficiency is a standout advantage of PTFE hoses, thanks to the material’s ultra-low friction coefficient that minimizes fluid resistance during transfer.
higher pressures
PTFE hoses are engineered to handle higher pressures than many conventional hose materials, making them suitable for high-intensity fluid transfer applications where pressure stability is critical.
Chemical Inertness
PTFE hoses exhibit exceptional chemical inertness, meaning they resist reactions with almost all chemicals, acids, alkalis, solvents and oxidizing agents.
This remarkable property stems from their unique molecular structure: the carbon backbone of PTFE is fully encapsulated by tightly bonded fluorine atoms, forming a dense, non-reactive protective layer. This layer prevents external chemicals from penetrating or interacting with the material, ensuring PTFE hoses maintain structural integrity and performance even in harsh chemical environments.

PTFE Flexible Hose vs. Traditional Rubber Hoses: Technical Comparison
With 20 years of specialized experience in manufacturing PTFE products, Besteflon takes pride in offering high-performance PTFE flexible hose that outperforms traditional rubber hoses in multiple critical technical aspects, making it the preferred choice for demanding industrial applications.
Firstly, in terms of temperature resistance, PTFE flexible hose boasts exceptional thermal stability, operating reliably within a wide range of -200°C to +260°C (-328°F to +500°F). In contrast, traditional rubber hoses typically have a limited temperature tolerance (often -40°C to +120°C/-40°F to +248°F) and are prone to cracking, softening, or losing structural integrity under extreme heat or cold. This makes our PTFE hose ideal for applications involving high-temperature fluids, cryogenic processes, or fluctuating thermal environments.
Secondly, chemical compatibility is a key differentiator. PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is inherently chemically inert, meaning PTFE flexible hose resists corrosion, swelling, or degradation when in contact with strong acids, alkalis, solvents, oils, and other aggressive media. Traditional rubber hoses, however, are vulnerable to chemical attack—they may degrade, leak, or contaminate fluids, posing risks to both equipment and operational safety. For industries such as chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, and petrochemicals, this inertness ensures long-term reliability and fluid purity.
Thirdly, durability and low maintenance set our PTFE hose apart. Unlike rubber hoses, which tend to age, harden, or deteriorate over time due to oxidation, UV exposure, or repeated flexing, PTFE flexible hose maintains its flexibility and structural integrity for years. It also has excellent wear resistance, reducing the need for frequent replacements and lowering overall operational costs. Additionally, PTFE’s non-stick surface minimizes fluid buildup and contamination, simplifying cleaning and ensuring consistent flow performance.
Lastly, in terms of pressure handling and versatility, PTFE flexible hose excels in high-pressure applications (with options for reinforced designs like steel wire braiding) while remaining highly flexible, allowing for easy routing in tight spaces. Traditional rubber hoses often struggle to balance flexibility and high-pressure resistance, and their performance may decline rapidly under continuous high-pressure use.
Backed by two decades of engineering expertise and strict quality control, Besteflon’s PTFE flexible hose combines technical superiority with proven reliability. Whether you require a solution for extreme temperatures, aggressive chemicals, or long-term industrial use, our PTFE flexible hose outperforms traditional rubber hoses in every critical metric—delivering value, safety, and peace of mind to global customers.

FAQ
1.Is PTFE hose flexible?
PTFE hoses used for biotechnology and pharmaceutical fluid delivery. Very flexible – very sturdy – smooth holes for fast flow and easy cleaning.
2.What does PTFE hose represent?
PTFE hoses are made of polytetrafluoroethylene, which is an engineering fluorinated polymer. Polytetrafluoroethylene is a different name for a compound, also known as Teflon.
3.How flexible is China flexible PTFE hose ?
PTFE woven fabrics have excellent flexibility, making them ideal for weighing and quantitative systems, or short flexibility that requires additional flexibility, suitable for large amplitude vibration, rotation, or rolling equipment. PTFE fabric is permeable, allowing air to enter and exit devices without breathing bags.
4.Which is better, PTFE hose or rubber hose?
PTFE hoses have excellent chemical resistance and can withstand extreme temperature conditions, but they are more expensive. On the other hand, rubber hoses offer superior flexibility and are highly cost-effective, but they fall short of PTFE hoses in chemical resistance.
5.What are the drawbacks of PTFE?
Limitations of PTFE:
Non melting machinable materials.
Low tensile yield strength and modulus (compared to PEEK, PPS, and LCP)
High wear behavior in unfilled state.
Cannot be welded.
Sensitive to creep and wear.
Low radiation resistance.
6.How long is the service life of PTFE?
All PTFE materials have an unlimited shelf life when stored under normal warehouse conditions. In fact, a common industry joke is that for 85 years, PTFE “hasn’t existed long enough” to determine how long it can last!
7.How do different braided materials affect the pressure resistance of PTFE hoses?
Braided materials play a critical role in enhancing the structural integrity, pressure-bearing capacity, and long-term durability of PTFE hoses. Below is a detailed analysis of how steel wire, aramid fiber, and glass fiber—three commonly used braiding materials—influence PTFE hoses:
1. Steel Wire Braiding
Steel wire (typically stainless steel 304/316) is renowned for its exceptional tensile strength and rigidity, making it the top choice for high-pressure applications. PTFE hoses with steel wire braiding can withstand working pressures ranging from 1000 to 5000 psi (depending on hose diameter and braid density), significantly outperforming non-reinforced or lightly reinforced PTFE hoses.
2. Aramid Fiber Braiding
Aramid fiber is a high-strength, lightweight synthetic material with pressure-bearing capabilities comparable to steel wire (working pressure: 800–3000 psi) but at 1/5 the weight. Its flexible braid structure adapts well to dynamic bending, making it ideal for applications requiring both moderate pressure resistance and maneuverability.
3. Glass Fiber Braiding
Glass fiber braiding offers moderate pressure reinforcement, with working pressures ranging from 300 to 1500 psi—suitable for low-to-medium pressure applications (e.g., chemical fluid transfer, HVAC systems). Its primary advantage lies in high-temperature resistance (up to 260°C, matching PTFE’s thermal stability) rather than extreme pressure bearing.
8.How to Maintain PTFE Flexible Hoses?
To maintain PTFE flexible hoses effectively and extend their service life, follow these key steps:
1. Avoid overbending — Do not exceed the hose’s rated minimum bend radius, as excessive flexing can damage the braided reinforcement layer.
2. Keep it clean — Rinse the inner and outer surfaces with neutral detergent after use, especially for hoses used in chemical or food applications, to prevent residue buildup.
3. Store properly — Store hoses in a cool, dry, and ventilated area away from direct sunlight, sharp objects, and corrosive chemicals.
4. Inspect regularly — Check for cracks, bulges, or loose fittings periodically. Replace the hose immediately if any damage is found.
9. PTFE Flexible Hose Applications
Besteflon China flexible PTFE hose suppliers excel due to their excellent chemical resistance, high flexibility, and long service life for most media. In the food and pharmaceutical industries, their neutral taste and odor, as well as their bacteriological safety, make them an ideal choice for transporting potentially problematic products. In the shipbuilding or aerospace industry, PTFE hoses can safely transport fuel or cooling water.
