Polymer Tubing Drill. 0.8mm Polymeric Pin, Replacement for Flanging Tool. ARE-Applied Research brand. 5/PK.
Additional Info:
The 45099‑108‑005 Polymer Tubing Flanging Drills (5‑Pack) are precision replacement components designed for use with the MICROSOLV Flanging Tool, enabling accurate and repeatable cold flanging of polymer (plastic) tubing tips.
Each drill features a 0.8 mm polymeric pin, which provides controlled internal support during the flaring process, helping shape the tubing tip into a uniform, stable flange. The use of a polymer pin is especially advantageous when working with soft or semi‑flexible tubing materials, as it reduces stress during deformation and minimizes the risk of tubing damage.
When used with the flanging tool, these drills produce mechanically formed (cold‑formed) flares, eliminating the need for heat and resulting in:
Improved dimensional stability
Reduced deformation risk
Consistent sealing surfaces for reliable connections
This drill configuration is optimized for general polymer tubing applications, including materials such as PTFE, FEP, PFA, ETFE, and similar plastics used in low‑pressure chromatography and fluidic systems.
The 5‑pack format ensures availability for routine maintenance and multi‑user lab environments, supporting consistent tubing preparation workflows.
Why Choose the 0.8 mm Polymeric Pin Drill
This drill is typically selected when:
Working with soft or semi‑rigid polymer tubing
A non‑metallic internal support is preferred
Minimizing tubing deformation during flaring is critical
Reliable and repeatable flange geometry is required
The polymeric pin design provides controlled support while reducing mechanical stress on softer tubing materials.
