Teflex Woven | BFM® Fitting
Superior to traditional hose clamped canvas/cloth/rubber connectors
Teflex is a pure woven PTFE FDA-approved connector.
Use Teflex in applications requiring operation in extremely high temperatures and/or acidic or caustic environments. Teflex can continuously operate at 260°C / 500˚F with short term surges to 280°C / 536˚F. It also resists corrosion from products across the full pH scale; Either caustic or acidic products will not affect Teflex's performance.
