How Do I Attach a Connector to a Nafion Tube or Seal the Tube End?

Nafion is a difficult material to work with in that nothing truly “sticks” to the material. A possible process would be to swell the end of the tube in water or alcohol and insert a ferrule of some sort into the end. Then as the material is dried it shrinks and holds onto the ferrule. Afterwards a mechanical clamp can be placed on the seal, and the ferrule can be used for containerization.

If this presents an issue for your application than the BE / ME series maybe a better fit.
