thermoforming fluoropolymers
tipping & flanging of ptfe, fep & pfa
Tipping and flanging fluoropolymers allow cost savings by making components to your exact requirements, ready for assembly.
Tips, collars and flanges can be applied to all PTFE, FEP and PFA tubes we offer, and can be made to your exact requirements. Drawn down tips are reformed in the tube.
Advantages of Tipping & Flanging

Case study: Bespoke FEP flanged tubing
We worked with a medical customer to create bespoke FEP flanged tubing. The tube required a special diameter flange at one end and a 30° cut at the other.
Case study: Custom FEP tube with flat tip
We worked with a medical customer to create custom FEP tubing. The tube required a smooth external domed profile and an internal flat tip, and needed to follow tight tolerances.
Case study: Custom flanged FEP assembly
We were approached by a client looking to create a bespoke assembly for use with a water sterilisation application. We produced a custom flanged FEP assembly.
