Teflon hoses – High-quality PTFE solutions
We offer flexible, high-quality teflon hoses, also known as PTFE hoses, which can be used in many types of process plants. Our range includes both smooth and PTFE corrugated hoses, which are suitable for transporting food, pharmaceutical products, chemicals and other media under demanding conditions. All our hoses are made from 100% Virgin PTFE, which means that the material is completely pure without any recycled material or additives. This ensures maximum durability, chemical resistance and optimal performance in industrial processes.
Our teflon hoses are used in many industries. In the food industry, food and beverages are transported under hygienic conditions where cleanliness and food approval are crucial. In the pharmaceutical industry, active ingredients and medical products are handled, where traceability and cleanliness are paramount. The chemical industry uses teflon hoses to transport aggressive chemicals, where safety and material stability are essential. The oil and gas industry also uses our hoses to handle products under high pressure and temperature.
Advantages of teflon hoses
Teflon hoses are known for their wide temperature resistance and chemical resistance. They can be used at temperatures ranging from -70°C to +260°C and can withstand the transport of aggressive media without risk of deformation or deterioration. PTFE's non-stick properties ensure optimal flow, reducing the risk of clogging and making cleaning easier. This is particularly important in food and pharmaceutical applications, where hygiene and cleanliness are paramount.
Our stock range also includes models that are well suited to production environments with very high demands on temperature, pressure and/or chemical exposure – for example, with aggressive liquids. These PTFE corrugated hoses, including FoodForce C, are constructed of corrugated PTFE on the inside and protected on the outside by a PTFE hose with stainless steel braid, making them highly resistant to both temperature and pressure without losing their mechanical properties.
If there are very high hygiene liners, such as in laboratory environments in connection with pharmaceutical production, it is worth looking at our PharmaForce C model. PharmaForce C is coated with a transparent silicone cover, which gives the hose a smooth outer surface that is easy to clean after use.
All our Teflon hoses, both with and without stainless steel braid, are available in sizes from 1/4‘ to 10’ (DN8 to DN250).
All hoses are food-approved and can be sterilised, ensuring safe handling of food and medical products.
Have you read our tubing mini-guide?
In the mini-guide, we provide you with a detailed overview of the materials FEP, PTFE and silicone, including their unique properties and what makes them ideal for different applications and production needs. We focus on flexibility, temperature resistance and chemical resistance.

Documentation and calibration
Quality and documentation are a central part of our offering. Each PTFE corrugated hose comes with documentation, including material certificates and pressure test reports, ensuring full traceability and compliance with applicable standards. The hoses can be integrated with calibration equipment, such as laser gauges, which measure pressure and flow accurately. This enables our customers to maintain high liners of process control and safety in their facilities.
Easy installation with push-in fittings
We make the installation of teflon hoses simple and safe with push-in fittings that ensure tight connections without the use of special tools. This makes it quick to integrate the hoses into existing systems, while ensuring that they are correctly positioned during operation. We also offer tailor-made solutions where hose lengths, diameters and fittings are adapted to the customer's needs. This optimises processes and ensures maximum efficiency and safety in all applications.
Frequently asked questions
What temperatures and pressures can a teflon hose withstand?
A PTFE hose retains its mechanical properties across a wide range from approx. -70°C to +260°C, thereby covering the vast majority of process windows in food and pharmaceutical production. The pressure capacity depends on the construction: a smooth PTFE hose without reinforcement typically handles low to moderate operating pressures, whilst the corrugated models with stainless steel braid (e.g. FoodForce C, PharmaForce C and ChemForce ATEX) can withstand significantly higher pressures and can also be used under vacuum. When selecting the correct size, you should always assess operating pressure, temperature and chemical exposure collectively – not as isolated parameters.
What is the difference between a smooth and a corrugated PTFE hose?
A smooth PTFE hose has a uniform inner wall, which ensures minimal pressure drop, optimal flow and quick, thorough cleaning. It's the obvious choice when hygiene, traceability and gentle media handling are top priorities – for example, on pharmaceutical production lines or when transporting viscous ingredients. The corrugated variant, on the other hand, has a ribbed inner wall, which provides significantly greater flexibility and a tighter bending radius. It's ideal for installations with limited space, numerous changes of direction or applications where the hose must withstand vacuum without collapsing.
Are your teflon hoses approved for food contact in accordance with FDA and EU regulations?
Yes. Our PTFE hoses are manufactured from 100% virgin PTFE – that is, pure material with no recycled content or additives – and are supplied in accordance with the applicable requirements for food contact materials, including EC 1935/2004, EC 2023/2006 (GMP) and FDA Title 21 CFR 177.1550 for PTFE. The specific approvals vary depending on the model and material composition, so you should always check the technical data sheet or contact us regarding the specific product.
When should I choose a teflon hose with a stainless steel braid?
Choose a teflon hose with a stainless steel braid when the installation is exposed to high operating pressure, vibrations, mechanical wear or external impacts. The steel braid acts as a reinforcing layer that absorbs the operating pressure, prevents expansion under load and protects the PTFE hose itself from shocks and vibrations. It's particularly relevant in high-pressure installations, with pressurised steam, and in conduits where the hose is exposed to process equipment or production traffic. In food and pharmaceutical plants, we often see steel-braided models such as FoodForce C and PharmaForce C used, as they combine the hygienic interior of PTFE with a robust outer construction.
Can teflon hoses be sterilised?
Yes. PTFE is one of the most robust materials you can subject to a sterilisation cycle. Its temperature resistance up to approx. 260°C means that the hose can withstand steam at SIP temperatures above 121°C without degrading. At the same time, its chemical inertness means that PTFE is compatible with virtually all standard CIP and disinfection chemicals. This makes our PTFE hoses well-suited for food, pharmaceutical and biotech production, where repeated cleaning and sterilisation cycles are an integral part of operations.
