FAQ
Q: What is the maximum temperature this PTFE tube can handle inside a coffee machine?
A: PTFE itself can withstand continuous temperatures up to 260°C (500°F). However, in a coffee machine environment, the actual safe working pressure decreases as temperature rises. For typical espresso boiler lines (around 120°C-150°C), our 2mm and 2.5mm tubes perform flawlessly. Share your specific working pressure and temperature, and our engineers will confirm the safety margin for you.
Q: Is this tubing truly food-safe? Will it affect the taste of the coffee?
A: Absolutely. We use 100% virgin, food-contact grade PTFE resin. It is completely inert, BPA-free, and will not leach any chemicals or impart any plastic odor/taste to the water or coffee. We can provide FDA, LFGB, or other specific compliance certificates based on your target market's requirements.
Q: Can you supply the tubes pre-cut to exact lengths for our assembly line?
A: Yes, this is one of our core services. We provide precision cut-to-length PTFE tubing with clean, burr-free ends, ready for direct insertion into your fittings. This saves you significant labor costs on the assembly line. Just send us your required lengths and quantities.
Q: Do you offer other sizes besides 2x4mm and 2.5x4mm?
A: Definitely. While 2mm and 2.5mm ID are the industry standards for coffee machines, we manufacture a full range of micro PTFE tubing. If you need different inner/outer diameters, thinner walls, or even colored PTFE tubes for easy identification, just send us your drawings or specifications.
