In the chemical industry, fluid transportation often faces strong corrosive media, high or low temperature environments, and strict purity requirements. PTFE pipes have unique advantages in these aspects. PTFE has a very strong chemical inertness and is almost unaffected by all chemicals, including strong acids, strong bases, organic solvents, and oxidants. This makes PTFE pipes very reliable when handling corrosive fluids. Traditional metal pipes are prone to corrosion when transporting concentrated sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, or hydrofluoric acid, while PTFE pipes can work stably for a long time. In addition, PTFE has a wide temperature resistance range and is suitable for fluid transportation under extreme temperature conditions. Secondly, the low friction coefficient and anti sticking properties of PTFE can reduce resistance during fluid transportation, prevent scaling or blockage of the inner wall of pipelines, which is particularly important for media that require high-purity fluids or are prone to crystallization
Case 1: Transportation of Highly Corrosive Media In the chemical industry, it is often necessary to handle various strong acids, strong bases, and corrosive gases. During the transportation of concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated hydrochloric acid in a certain chemical plant, ordinary metal pipelines were used, but frequent corrosion and leakage problems occurred, which not only affected production efficiency but also posed serious safety hazards. Later, the factory switched to PTFE pipes to solve the problem of pipeline corrosion. PTFE pipes can resist the erosion of almost all chemical media, ensuring the safety and stability of the transportation process, greatly extending the service life of pipelines, and reducing maintenance costs.
Case 2: High temperature fluid transportation A pharmaceutical company needs to transport high-temperature organic solvents during the production process. The rubber hose originally used is prone to aging and deformation at high temperatures, leading to frequent leaks. After switching to PTFE pipes, due to its excellent high-temperature resistance, it can work stably in the temperature range of -50 ℃ to+250 ℃, ensuring the safe transportation of high-temperature organic solvents and improving the reliability of the production line.
