Conductive PTFE Hose
Conductive PTFE Hoses
Different with nonconductive version, conductive PTFE hoses are those that have a conductive resin liner made of carbon black, which imparts conductivity to the PTFE material and allows them to conduct electricity.
Like the conductive PTFE fuel hose, the conductive lining provides a path for static electricity to dissipate from the hose, preventing the buildup of static charge. The buildup of static charge can be dangerous in certain applications where a spark could ignite the fuel and cause an explosion, which makes the conductive liner ideal for use in PTFE fuel line running gas, E85, methanol, etc.
The carbon black liner is applied to the PTFE tube during the manufacturing process, ensuring uniform conductivity throughout the length of the hose.
