Teflex NP Opaque Connector | BFM® Fitting
Superior to traditional hose clamped canvas/cloth/rubber connectors
Teflex NP is a semi-transparent food-grade connector made from pure PTFE.
Use Teflex NP in applications requiring operation in extremely high temperatures and/or acidic or caustic environments.
Teflex can continuously operate at 300°C / 572˚F with short term surges to 316°C / 600˚F. It also resists corrosion from products across the full pH scale; Either caustic or acidic products will not affect Teflex's performance.
Do not use for oscillating applications. Contact us for vibrating applications.
