What is PTFE

	TEFLON is the commercial name used by the Copyright owner for PTFE material, used in PRO-RS Brake Hose. PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) is a problem solver for a lot of high performance and very demanding application. When application parameters are outside the limits of many hose types, PRO-RS PTFE hoses are the answer.
	The chemical compatibility of PTFE, combined with its unique physical characteristic, make it ideal engineered plastic for use in hose applications throughout the world.
	The benefits of PTFE are :
	Flexible and Strong Combined with metal braid (Stainless Steel), PRO-RS PTFE hoses can perform well under conditions where high pressure and continuous flexing and vibration makes this type of application a particular challenge. It can withstand hundreds of thousands of flex cycles without fatigue and failure.
	Chemically Resistant and Inert PRO-RS PTFE hoses can handle an almost endless variety of fluids at extreme pressures and temperatures.
	Wide Ranging Temperature PRO-RS PTFE hoses can typically withstand temperature from - 73° C to + 260° C under most operating conditions.
	Non-Stick, Low Friction Almost no substance can adhere to PTFE. This property insures the purity of any fluid being transferred within this type of hose. It also allows for repeated reuse with different fluids. With a coefficient of friction as low as 0.05, deposits cannot build up and flow rates are high throughout the hose assembly life.
	Resistant to Moisture By nature, PTFE lacks affinity to moisture. Absorption is less than 0.01%.
	Ageless Weather, exposure, or time does not affect a properly installed hose assembly. PTFE hoses have an almost limitless shelf life.
