Kynar is a thermoplastic material made from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), which is known for its strength and toughness. It is also highly resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, bases, and solvents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kynar fittings are ideal for use in a variety of applications, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Chemical processing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Food and beverage processing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pharmaceutical manufacturing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Water and wastewater treatment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Semiconductor manufacturing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ozone systems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the key benefits of Kynar fittings is their ozone compatibility. Ozone is a powerful oxidizer that can be used to disinfect water and oxidize organic matter. However, ozone can also be corrosive to some materials. Kynar is resistant to ozone corrosion, making it a good choice for use in ozone applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kynar fittings are also available in a variety of configurations, including straight connectors, elbows, tees, and reducers. This makes them versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Here are some of the benefits of using Kynar fittings with FEP tubing:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Durability: Kynar is a very durable material that is resistant to abrasion, corrosion, and chemicals. This makes it ideal for use in demanding applications.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ozone compatibility: Kynar is resistant to ozone corrosion, making it a good choice for use in ozone systems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Versatility: Kynar fittings are available in a variety of configurations, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to choose the right Kynar fittings for your application<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When choosing Kynar fittings, it is important to consider the following factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tube size: Kynar fittings are available in a variety of tube sizes to fit different tubing diameters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pipe thread size: Kynar fittings are also available in a variety of pipe thread sizes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Configuration: Kynar fittings are available in a variety of configurations, including straight connectors, elbows, tees, and reducers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pressure rating: Kynar fittings have different pressure ratings depending on the configuration and tube size. It is important to choose fittings that have a pressure rating that is at least equal to the operating pressure of your system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to install Kynar fittings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To install Kynar fittings, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cut the tubing end squarely and remove any burrs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insert the tubing into the fitting until it reaches the stop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hand tighten the nut.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a wrench to tighten the nut an additional 1 1\/2 to 2 turns.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is important to note that Kynar fittings should not be overtightened, as this can damage the fitting or the tubing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kynar fittings are a durable and versatile choice for use with FEP tubing. They are resistant to corrosion, chemicals, and ozone, making them ideal for a variety of demanding applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All our Kynar fittings can be found here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oxidationtech.com\/products\/accessories\/fittings.html\">https:\/\/www.oxidationtech.com\/products\/accessories\/fittings.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kynar fittings are a popular choice for use with FEP tubing due to their durability, corrosion resistance, and ozone compatibility.
