Characteristics
- Ink Resistance...Since the inner layer is made of special fluorine resin, E-BTF-BK shows resistance against various kinds of inks.
- High Gas Barrier...Due to the use of barrier resin, compared with E-SJ-BK, E-BTF-BK shows higher gas barrier.
- High Solvent Barrier...Due to the use of special fluorine resin, E-BTF-BK shows higher solvent barrier.
- Flexibility...Due to the laminated structure, compared with a single-layer tubing, E-BTF-BK is superior in flexibility. This improves your work efficiency.
- Plasticizer-Free...E-BTF-BK does not contain plasticizer at all.
- Non-PVC...E-BTF-BK is made of non-PVC material.
- Transparency...E-BTF-BK enables you to check the fluid very easily.
Certificates and Regulations
- RoHS Compliant...E-BTF-BK is compliant with RoHS requirements (Directive: (EU) 2015/863). (RoHS Compliant means that E-BTF-BK does not contain RoHS 10 restricted substances or it does not exceed the upper threshold of RoHS 10 restricted substances.) Certificate is available on request.
- EU REACH and UK REACH...E-BTF-BK is compliant with REACH SVHC 23rd list (209 substances). Certificate is available on request.
- PFOA and PFOS...E-BTF-BK does not contain perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs C 9 – C 14), their salts or PFCA-related substances.
- Non-Use of UV-328...E-BTF-BK does not contain UV-328. Certificate is available on request.

Point:
What is a Barrier Tubing? Needs for Tubing with Excellent Oxygen Barrier
If the oxygen barrier or water vapor barrier is low for the ink supply tubing, oxygen and water vapor in the atmosphere permeate into the ink.
This leads to the clogging of print head or ink discharge defect due to the generation of air bubble.
Also, if the low oxygen barrier or water vapor barrier tubing is used, solvent components of the ink inside the tubing will evaporate, changing the ink quality. As a result, printing quality badly affects.
This HAKKO five-layer product includes the barrier resin (middle layer), keeping the oxygen less likely to be permeated.
Cautions:
- The material of the middle layer and outer layer is inferior in chemical resistance to the inner layer. Please do not allow chemicals to adhere to the tube during immersion or fitting insertion, which might cause swelling and cracking of the tube.
- When using the metal fittings, do not use any scratches or rusty fittings on the nipple surface. Damage to the inside of the tube may cause tube rupture or leakage. Also, do not use resin fittings with scratches on the surface of nipples. Depending on the state of the junction (parting line) of the resin joint, fluid may leak. Please confirm the matching between E-BTF-BK tubing and the fittings. If you need our technical support in fittings, please fill out this form.
- Due to the laminated structure tubing, please use the joints to seal an inner surface of the tubing.
- Please do not use the joints to seal an outer surface of the tubing. This may result in the bursting or coming off from the tubing.
- When you use our products, please refer to "Precautions for Use." ("The Precautions for Use" of E-BTF-BK is also downloadable here.)
- In terms of chemical resistance, please refer to "Chemical Resistance Data."
Technical Information
(A) Slide Curvature Test (5 million times)
(B) UV Penetration Data
(C) Gas Barrier Test Data
1. Gas Barrier Test
Seal the de-gas water into the tubing. Then, leave the tubing under the conditions of temperature (20 $^\circ$C [68 F]) and humidity (50%) for 1 week. Then, check the increasing amount of dissolved oxygen for each tubing.
2. Sample
Fluorine-Based (for Solvent-Based Ink) Tubing
- E-BTF-4$\times$6 Barrier Tubing (Fluorine)
- E-SJ-4$\times$6 Flexible Fluorine (ETFE) Resin Tubing
- E-PD-4$\times$6 Flexible Fluorine (PVDF) Resin Tubing
- Fluorine Rubber Tubing (4$\times$6)
3. Results
Results: E-BTF is superior to E-PD, E-SJ, and fluorine rubber tubing in terms of gas barrier feature.
(D) Solvent Barrier Test Data
1. Solvent Barrier Test
Seal the solvent (Diethylene Glycol Diethyl Ether) in the tubing.
Then, leave the tubing under the condition of temperature (60 $^\circ$C) with sealing both ends.
Measure the weight (weight changes) of the ink tubing in 7 and 14 days.
* Except the weights of tubing and sealing items, we only measured the weight changes of the solvents.

Results: E-BTF-BK is superior to E-SJ and fluorine rubber tubing in terms of solvent barrier feature.
(E) Water Vapor Barrier Test Data
1. Water Vapor Barrier Test
Seal the water in the tubing (Length: 400mm). Then, leave the tubing under the condition of temperature (20 $^\circ$C) with sealing both ends. Measure the weight (weight changes) of the water in 7 and 14 days.
*Except the weights of tubing and sealing items, we only measured the weight changes of the water.

(F) Flexibility Test Data
1. Test Methods
2. Results
Compared with a fluorine tubing manufactured by other corporation, HAKKO E-BTF shows a smaller bending stress, meaning that E-BTF-BK is more flexible than a fluorine tubing. On the other hand, compared with E-PD, E-SJ-BK, and E-SJUS-BK, E-BTF-BK is more stiff.
