ePTFE Mechanical Characteristics

These videos demonstrate how an ePTFE tube can flex without kinking as well as be compressed and still maintain its external shape.

The microstructure of PTFE consists of nodes and fibrils which give it unique characteristics. Learn more about the microstructure of PTFE here.
