Because of its unique construction and attributes, the benefits of the PTFE are many. It has a wide operating temperature range and can withstand temperatures from -73 degrees C to +260 degrees C. It has a vast chemical compatibility, meaning the hose can withstand a variety of fluids at extreme temperatures and pressure levels.PTFE custom are very flexible and strong. When combined with a stainless steel braid, these hoses can out-perform other hoses under high-pressure conditions, even when there is continuous vibration and flexing. PTFE race hoses can hold their own during hundreds of thousands of flex cycles without failure.
They are non-stick with low friction to prevent substances from adhering to the interior walls of the hose. This allows fluids to maintain their purity while flowing through the hose and it allows the alternate use of varied fluids in the same hose without risk of fluid mixture.PTFE is moisture-resistant so it does not absorb fluids as they pass through. It adds no taste, odor, or color to the fluids. That's why PTFE has been FDA-approved for use in the food industry as well. Another advantage is PTFE race hoses are built to last. When properly installed, they are not affected by exposure to chemicals, weather elements, or time.
They are resistant to UV light and oxidation, discoloration, and surface fouling. They are essentially ageless when well taken care of. PTFE hoses are also lightweight, which helps reduce the overall racecar weight for improved racing performance.With so many benefits, it's no wonder many manufacturers are producing PTFE hoses today. Good ridge, for example, produces various types of PTFE race hoses, including smooth or convoluted hoses, hoses with stainless steel braiding or an Aramid Fibre outer braid, and races hoses of various sizes and shapes. Besides hoses, there are numerous hose fittings such as AN fittings and other racing products to meet the needs of every racecar machine shop.
