Saint-Gobain’s Versilon® FEP tubing is transparent, high-performance fluoropolymer tubing with excellent physical and chemical resistance. A chemically inert thermoplastic, Versilon® tubing offers high purity. Unlike metal and rubber alternatives, Versilon® FEP tubing is non-corroding and non-oxidizing. Unlike other plastics, Versilon® tubing is not affected by nearly all solvents, acids and fuels. Various grades of FEP are available, allowing customers to tailor tubing properties to specific application needs

**Thickness from 0.025 to 2.5 mm - value decreases with increasing thickness
Note : The values listed for working and burst pressures are derived from tests conducted under controlled laboratory conditions. Many factors will reduce the tubing's ability to withstand pressure, including temperature, chemical attack, stress, pulsation and the attachment to fittings. It is imperative that the user conduct tests simulating the conditions of the application prior to specifying the tubing for use.
