PFA Tubing (PerFlourAlkoxy)
All of MicroSolv PFA capillaries are extruded from virgin PFA. We do not add any additives to the original PTFE material, except for color particles in the solid colored tubing.
PFA tubing and capillaries do not contain micro-pores in the tubing wall to the same extent as PTFE tubing.

ETFE Tubing (TEFZEL)
All of MicroSolv ETFE tubing is extruded from virgin ETFE. We do not add any additives to the original ETFE material. ETFE tubing is widely used in all low- and medium pressure laboratory applications due to the relatively high burst-pressure. Please be aware that ETFE tubing is not resistant to all chemicals. Some organic solvents may cause swelling and reduce the pressure stability. ETFE Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene belongs to a PFAS group but is PTFE free.

PTFE Tubing (PolyTetraFlouroEthylene)
PTFE tubing is widely used in all low-pressure laboratory applications. Please be aware that all PTFE tubing does contain micro-pores in the tubing wall. These micro-pores allow a quick air exchange. This is of special consideration for degassed and oxygen-sensitive solvents.
All MicroSolv PTFE tubing is extruded from virgin PTFE. We do not add any additives to the original PTFE material, except for color particles in the solid colored tubing.

Note: The data collected in column ’Pressure’ show the recommended permanent maximum working pressure at room temperature for non-destructive solvents. Change of solvents and temperature may result in lowered mechanical stability. Keep in mind that tight bends of the tubing, use of wrong tools for cutting and bad connections may result in mechanical damage to the tube and by this reduce the pressure stability.
