ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene) tubing, such as Versilon, offers excellent properties for abrasion applications. Used in valves, fittings, bearings, pump components and electrical coatings, ETFE tubing is weather-resistant and inert to most solvents and chemicals. Versilon ETFE tubing is also radiation resistant.
