Silicone hose and PTFE tubing for fluid routing projects

Technical Data

Catalog-based tubing parameters and material direction

These notes summarize the silicone hose and PTFE tubing information shown in the WCW catalog, giving buyers a faster starting point for size and material selection.

Silicone Hose Range

Silicone hose is used where flexibility, clean routing and heat resistance matter, especially in appliance, steam and light industrial tubing projects.

Common options: transparent, semi-transparent, milky white, flame-retardant and thickened types
Customization support: hardness, dimensions, wall thickness and cut length
Catalog size examples extend from micro-bore tubing up to large-diameter hose around 100 mm to 150 mm
Common package references: 400 m / 200 m / 100 m / 50 m / 25 m depending on size

PTFE Tubing Direction

PTFE tubing is preferred when the application requires higher chemical resistance, temperature tolerance, low friction and cleaner media compatibility.

Material strengths: high temperature resistance, pressure resistance, corrosion resistance and self-lubricating surface
Typical size direction: small precision tubing from sub-1 mm IDs to larger industrial routing sizes above 9 mm
Package form: spool supply or 1 m stick length depending on specification
Typical industries: machinery, electronics, transformers, automotive, aerospace, chemical and communication equipment

How to Select Between Silicone and PTFE

In buyer discussions, the fastest way to narrow the right tubing is to compare media, bendability, temperature and cleanliness requirements together.

Choose silicone first for softer routing, repeated bending and general steam or appliance lines
Choose PTFE first for stronger chemical compatibility, lower friction and higher-performance industrial routing
Confirm inner diameter, outer diameter, wall thickness and minimum bend radius before sampling
Photos, drawings and target-brand comparison can speed up recommendation

If your project involves pressure, steam, chemical media, food-contact or tight bend radius requirements, sharing those conditions early will help WCW recommend the safer material path.

FAQ

Typical tubing project questions

What information matters most for tubing selection?

Please share media type, temperature, pressure, flexibility need, sleeve sizes in mm, connector structure and whether the project needs food-contact, steam, chemical resistance or liquid-cooling compatibility.

Can you support custom sleeve size or wall thickness?

Yes. For many tubing projects we can discuss custom dimensions, wall thickness, hardness, connector fit and routing structure based on your application.

Which applications commonly use this series?

Coffee machines, steam equipment, appliance tubing, medical auxiliary systems, liquid-cooling loops, high-temperature lead protection and chemical or fluid transfer lines.

Can you advise between silicone and PTFE tubing?

Yes. We can compare flexibility, media compatibility, temperature class, pressure exposure, cleanliness expectations and routing needs to recommend a better-fit material direction.
