FEP Coil
Optinova’s FEP Coil is a high-performance fluoropolymer tubing solution designed for demanding fluid handling and UV treatment applications. Thanks to the inherent chemical inertness of FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene), the coil is highly resistant to most industrial fluids, gases, and chemical solvents,ensuring long-lasting and reliable performance.
The coiled tubing design maximizes surface contact and enables efficient fluid flow around UV lamps, making it ideal for water purification and UV disinfection systems. The helix configuration—available in both left-hand (counterclockwise) and right-hand (clockwise) coils, optimizes water circulation and system efficiency.
