The Teflex NP Opaque Connector is constructed from pure PTFE, which allows it to operate continuously at temperatures up to 300ºC (572ºF) and handle short-term temperature surges up to 316ºC (600ºF). Its chemical inertness makes it ideal for use with a wide range of caustic and acidic products across the full pH scale. This makes the connector particularly useful in industries such as chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, and food production where high temperature and chemical resistance are required.

The semi-transparent nature of the Teflex NP Opaque Connector allows operators to visually monitor the product flow through the connector. This visibility can be crucial for quality control and process management, ensuring that blockages or inconsistencies in product flow are quickly identified and addressed, thereby reducing downtime and improving operational efficiency.

This connector features a multi-layer film construction with a wall thickness of 0.23mm and an opaque white color that is semi-transparent. It has excellent tear strength and is dust tight, with no air permeability, ensuring that it can maintain a controlled environment for sensitive processes. It is compliant with FDA 21 CFR 177.1550 for food contact, and it meets EU regulations (EC) 1935/2004 & 10/2011, although it is not Atex certified. Its certifications make it suitable for use in regulated industries requiring high standards of hygiene and safety.

Yes, the Teflex NP Opaque Connector is available in diameters ranging from 100mm to 500mm and can be equipped with stainless steel rings for enhanced mechanical strength up to a maximum diameter of 500mm. It offers various lengths from 80mm to 1,000mm in 50mm increments, accommodating different system requirements. Tool release options are available for easy installation and removal, and the connector can also be specified as a one-ended connector, adding to its versatility in installation and use across different equipment setups.
