Press Release Summary: Stainless-steel-overbraided PTFE fluoropolymer hose from
AdvantaPure is now available with white or conductive black cores in either smooth
or convoluted style. Silicone jacketing for heat protection and an
easy-to-wipe-clean surface is also offered.

Press Release Body: Now available from AdvantaPure is stainless-steel-overbraided
PTFE hose in six variations. Called APFOS, the hose offers the purity of PTFE
fluoropolymer with the durability and enhanced pressure carrying capabilities of
stainless steel. APFOS is used for applications in the chemical, food and beverage,
pharmaceutical, and other high-purity industries.

APFOS is constructed of a virgin PTFE core overbraided with series 300 stainless
steel wire. The core provides non-restrictive flow and an inert surface to transport
critical fluids. APFOS handles temperatures ranging from -65°F to 450°F; -54°C to
232°C. The steel reinforcement permits higher pressure uses, improves flexibility,
reduces the possibility of kinking, and protects the core.

Stock offerings consist of white or conductive black PTFE fluoropolymer cores in
smooth or convoluted styles. Smooth core hose provides maximum flow, while
convoluted offers enhanced flexibility. Silicone jacketed APFOS (APFOSJ) is
available in white core in either smooth or convoluted core (conductive black is
available through custom order). The silicone offers a degree of heat protection,
making the hose easier to handle in higher temperature applications. It also
provides a smooth exterior to eliminate particle entrapment and allows the surface
to be wiped cleaned. In addition, the silicone jacket presents a suitable surface
for AdvantaLabel(R), AdvantaPure's silicone label attachment system.

APFOS sizes range from 1/4" through 4" nominal I.D., depending on style. Custom
options include hose assemblies with crimped-on or flare-through ends, non-stock
sizes, special packaging, and identification solutions. Rubber-covered FEP
fluoropolymer hose is stocked as well.
