Description
FOBOS Polymer specializes in manufacturing PTFE, PFA, and FEP etched tubes for medical catheter and precision medical device applications.
Fluoropolymer materials such as PTFE, PFA, and FEP are widely used in advanced medical devices due to their excellent chemical resistance, low friction coefficient, thermal stability, and biocompatibility.
However, the naturally low surface energy of fluoropolymers makes bonding and assembly challenging during catheter manufacturing.
Our PTFE Etched Tube are specially surface-treated to improve bonding performance while maintaining the outstanding properties of PTFE, PFA, and FEP materials. They provide reliable solutions for multilayer catheter structures, medical tubing assemblies, and precision medical components.
Why Choose Etched Fluoropolymer Tubing?
Improved Bonding Performance
PTFE, PFA, and FEP materials are known for their excellent non-stick properties, but this also creates difficulties when bonding with other polymers or adhesives.
Through controlled surface etching treatment, FOBOS etched tubes provide:
- Improved surface adhesion
- Better bonding reliability
- Enhanced compatibility with outer jacket materials
- Improved performance in multilayer catheter construction
Etched tubing is commonly used where fluoropolymer liners need to bond with materials such as Pebax®, TPU, nylon, or other medical-grade polymers.
Material Options
PTFE Etched Tube
PTFE etched tubes provide:
- Extremely low friction
- Excellent chemical resistance
- High temperature stability
- Excellent lubricity
Commonly used as inner liners for advanced catheter systems.
FEP Etched Tube
FEP etched tubes provide:
- Excellent transparency
- Good chemical resistance
- Excellent processing characteristics
- Reliable bonding performance after surface treatment
Suitable for medical tubing assemblies requiring visibility and flexibility.
PFA Etched Tube
PFA etched tubes provide:
- High purity performance
- Excellent chemical resistance
- Excellent dimensional stability
- Good processing performance
Suitable for demanding medical and precision applications.
