Press Release Summary = NewAge Industries now offers a large inventory of
fluoropolymer tubing (often referred to as Teflon(R) tubing) in a choice of six
styles: straight, thin wall, coiled, corrugated, convoluted, or stainless steel
overbraided.

Press Release Body = Southampton, PA - NewAge Industries is pleased to announce the
immediate availability of PTFE, FEP, and PFA tubing in a choice of styles-straight,
thin wall, coiled, corrugated, convoluted, or overbraided-to address various
demands. The company has a large inventory of all six types. Often referred to as
Teflon(R) tubing, PTFE, FEP, and PFA fluoropolymer tubing is best known for its heat
and chemical resistance and for its non-stick properties. Applications include
laboratory and medical use, automotive, chemical and petrochemical transfer,
adhesive delivery, corrosives, pure/deionized water systems, pharmaceutical
processing, flame retardant covering, food and beverage lines, cryogenics,
environmental sampling, and others.

The diversity of styles focuses on different application challenges. PTFE, FEP, and
PFA tubing in straight lengths, which is typically a fairly rigid product, works
well in applications such as fluid transfer and sampling. Thin wall PTFE tubing,
offered in AWG (American Wire Gauge) and inch sizes, meets wire insulation and
protective covering needs. For applications like robotics, paint spray, and
dispensing systems, coiled FEP tubing called Coiltef(TM) is frequently used. Coiltef
may be expanded and retracted repeatedly without adverse effect to the heat-set
coil. Corrtef(TM) corrugated FEP tubing allows a nearly zero bend radius. It may be
extended or compressed without impacting the tubing's inner dimensions. For
flexibility and easy flush cleaning, Contef(TM) convoluted PTFE tubing is available.
Contef is offered with or without an exterior wire for increased pressure
capabilities and to aid in electrical grounding. Lastly, stainless steel
overbraiding for PTFE tubing protects the core, reduces kinking, and provides
working pressures as high as 3000 psi.

The varieties of PTFE, FEP, and PFA tubing stocked by NewAge Industries handle
virtually any corrosive chemical in use today, with few exceptions. While recognized
for its excellent resistance to heat-up to 500°F (260°C) continuously, PTFE, FEP,
and PFA tubing is also quite useful in extremely cold temperatures-as low as -400°F
(-240°C). It offers the lowest coefficient of friction of any solid material,
excellent electrical properties, low permeability, and non-flammability. While PTFE
is milky white in color, FEP and PFA provide clarity for applications where visual
inspection of the flow is desired.

Sizes range from 1/32" through 4" I.D., depending on the product. Metric sizes are
available, as well as AWG sizes from 30 through 0. Most items ship the same day they
are ordered. Pureloc(R) PFA compression fittings are also stocked, offering the
availability of a complete fluoropolymer tubing system. Custom options, such as
color striping for easy line identification, cut-to-length pieces, and heat-formed
shapes, are offered as well.
