TUBING

Polyethylene - flexible polyethylene tubing is extruded from high molecular weight resin for increased dimensional stability, uniformity and long-term strength. Its resistance to environmental stress cracking greatly exceeds that of ordinary polyethylene tubing as measured by ASTM-D 1693.

Polypropylene - may be used at higher temperatures and working pressures than polyethylene tubing. Resistance to hot water and hot corrosive acids is excellent.

Nylon - flexible nylon tubing is carefully made from high-grade, abrasion-resistant, heat and light stabilized nylon. Resistance to stress-cracking, greatly exceeds that or ordinary nylon tubing. Extremely low level water absorption.

Polyurethane - It occupies a unique position among polymers, sharing the best properties of both rubber and plastic. The tubing is tough, strong, kink/abrasion resistant, yet flexible and easy to assemble.

Fluoropolymer - in FEP, PFA, PFA-HP, and TEFZEL^® resins - is designed for a wide range of high purity and corrosive resistant applications. The non-stick characteristics of Fluoropolymer resins, combined with their low extractable levels and chemically inert nature, make this tubing ideal for aerospace, automotive, electronics, food & beverage, medical, pharmaceutical, and chemical processing applications.
