   Nylon-12 Tubing
 
  • Very low moisture absorption: 1.9% maximum (at 73°F)
  • Will not become brittle or swell because of water
  • Excellent resistance to flexural fatigue, tube vibration, and movement
  • Lightweight with excellent bend radii and pressure ratings
  • Resists crushing, abrasion, and cracking
  • Available in metric sizes and colors
  • Tightest tolerances available -- see below
  • 100% incineration-approved by Scientific Ecology Group (S.E.G.)

Notes

NYLOTUBE® is resistant to solvents, alkalies, oils, greases, petroleum products, fungus, and molds. It has generally good resistance to dilute mineral and organic acids, but in-plant tests are suggested.

Semi-Rigid grade, black color, is heat and light stabilized.

Nylon brittleness is usually caused by cycles of water absorption and depletion. NYLOTUBE® is not dependent on moisture for flexibility, so life expectancy is greatly increased with brittleness eliminated.

Corrugated nylon tubing is available.

Custom sizes and colors, including clear, are available through minimum order. Repetitive cutting, bonding, coiling, heat-formed shapes, and custom fabrication are also available. Samples of stock material are available upon request.
