Radiopaque FEP/ETFE Tubing
- This tubing is produced using FEP or ETFE resins compounded with radiopaque agents such as BaSO₄, tungsten, etc., and can be tailored to meet diverse customer specifications.
- Backed by over a decade of expertise in compounding and dispersion technology, the radiopaque agents are homogeneously distributed within the base resin, ensuring stable manufacturing performance even for ultra-fine tubing requiring exceptional uniformity and precision.
