food & DRink
High performance fluoropolymer tubing and heat shrinkable sleeving are vital for use in food and drink applications.
The unique properties of fluoroplastics set them apart from general purpose plastic such as PVC and PE.
We supply a wide range of PTFE and FEP small bore tubing, heat shrinkable tubes and custom assemblies into the food and drink market.
We also offer FDA and NSF compliant tubing for a selection of our PTFE, FEP and PFA tubing, as well as EU 10/2011 compliant tubing for a selection of our PTFE and PFA tubing.

The Use of Fluoroplastics in the Food & Drink Industry
In a regulated and safety-conscious world, the food and drink industry must adhere to strict standards, especially relating to safety and purity. That’s where fluoroplastics come in; they are the best polymers for the food and drink manufacturing industry, ensuring the safest, most effective production workspace.
PTFE, FEP and PFA bring an abundance of benefits to the food and drink production, from cooking equipment to food coverings, conveyor belt rollers, UV lamp coatings, temperature sensor casing and non-stick surface covers. Fluoroplastics keep products uncontaminated, workers safe and production running smoothly.
Case study: Fluid delivery tubing assembly
We worked with a food and drink customer to create a custom PFA tubing assembly. Used to deliver fluids in a cleaning system, the tubing material needed to be FDA raw polymer compliant and suitable for food and drink applications. The bespoke tubing assembly fit our customer’s application precisely and saved him time, money and effort.
