Corrugated Tubing -Tex-Flex® Series

Parker's Corrugated Tubing is manufactured from FEP resin and is light weight, seamless and extremely clear, allowing operators to monitor any material passing through the tube.  The non-stick surface allows for easy cleaning and bacteria free transport of media.  Corrugated tubing differs from convoluted tubing because the corrugations can be extended or compressed without reducing flow, allowing you to shorten or lengthen the tube as you move through confined spaces.  

FEP Corrugated tubing, referred to as Tex-Flex®, is often used as an electrical insulator or fluid conduit with robots that have flexible arms to deliver electrical wiring, air, or corrosive liquids.  In semiconductor applications, such as wafer machines, corrugated tubing is offered in a high purity PFA.
