Plasmatech

What Plasmatech does

Plasmatech is a privately held U.S. custom manufacturer specializing in virgin PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) tube fittings, valves, and tubing for fluid handling of ultra-pure and chemically aggressive liquids and gases. The company operates from a single facility at 9812 Klingerman Street, South El Monte, California, and produces five core product lines: PTFE compression fittings (Series 01-20 and accessories), PTFE pipe fittings (Series 40-48), PTFE ball joint fittings (Series 02, 03, 05), PTFE stopcock valves (Series 70-75) and bubbler valves (Series 60-65), and paste-extruded bendable PTFE tubing (PMT series). All wetted components are precision-machined from 100% virgin PTFE and paired with injection-molded Ryton R-4 (40% glass-filled) nuts, with operating specifications spanning -320°F to 400°F, pressures from vacuum to 125 PSI, and tube sizes from 1/8" to 1" (3mm to 26mm metric).

The company's underlying technology is centered on a proprietary compression seal design: the seal surface is machined to nominal tube O.D., expanding to accommodate oversized tubing and compressing onto undersized tubing, producing leak rates below 0.5 × 10⁻⁶ standard cm³/sec. Internal undercuts are machined to clear tubing tolerances without creating thread interference, and valves are designed without stem packing for 3-4 turn operation and cleanability. These features are targeted at chemical processing, laboratory and research instrumentation, and OEM equipment manufacturers requiring inert, corrosion-resistant components for demanding media.

Plasmatech runs a sales-led, direct-to-customer go-to-market with no disclosed resellers or distributors. Revenue is generated through one-time sales of catalog and custom-configured components, priced per quote with no public pricing. Marketing is conducted through the company website (plasmatechusa.com), direct phone/email contact, and technical content in industrial trade publications. The company is independently owned with no disclosed parent, subsidiaries, external investors, or funding rounds, and serves only the U.S. market.

Core offering

Plasmatech is a custom manufacturer of virgin PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) tube fittings, valves, and tubing designed for ultra-pure and difficult-to-handle liquids and gases. The product portfolio covers precision-machined compression fittings, pipe fittings, ball joint fittings, stopcock valves, bubbler valves, and paste-extruded bendable tubing in fractional (1/8" to 1") and metric (3mm to 26mm) sizes.

Product overview

Plasmatech is a custom manufacturer of virgin PTFE tube fittings, valves, and tubing for ultra pure and difficult to handle liquids and gases. The product portfolio consists of five core product lines: PTFE Compression Type Fittings (Series 01-20, plus accessories like nuts, caps, inserts, and plugs), PTFE Pipe Fittings (Series 40-48 for NPT threaded connections), PTFE Ball Joint Fittings (Series 02, 03, 05), PTFE Stopcock Valves (Series 70-75 for selector applications), and PTFE Bubbler Valves (Series 60-65 for hand valve applications), plus PTFE Bendable Tubing (PMT series). All fittings are precision machined from 100% virgin PTFE and use Ryton R-4 injection molded nuts. The company operates from South El Monte, California and serves industrial applications requiring acid and corrosion resistant components.
