TUBING WE HAVE TO OFFER
Polyurethane
The Toughest Flexible Tubing on the Market.
The Gold Standard for Pneumatic & Hydraulic Systems
Don’t let inferior tubing be the weak link in your operation. Our white-labeled Polyurethane series is engineered using 100% Ether-based resins, ensuring your lines never degrade, crack, or lose flexibility—even in high-humidity environments where standard “Ester-based” tubes fail.
Why Our Polyurethane Stands Alone
“Self-Heal” Kink Recovery: Both the 95A and 98A variants feature advanced elastic memory. If a line is accidentally pinched or crushed during a shift, it is designed to spring back to its original shape without permanent deformation or flow restriction.
Superior Fitting Grip: Our 98A series is specifically optimized for Push-to-Connect fittings. The increased wall hardness allows the fitting’s internal teeth to “bite” securely, preventing leaks and accidental blow-outs under high-cycle vibration.
Abrasion & Chemical Resistance: Designed to replace wood, rubber, and even metal in high-wear areas. It is highly resistant to oils, fuels, and many industrial chemicals, making it ideal for oil pipelines and hydraulic seals.
Total Color Control: Available in 28 standard colors, allowing you to color-code your facility (e.g., Blue for Air, Red for High Pressure, Yellow for Vacuum) to reduce maintenance errors and downtime.

Nylon
The Professional Choice for High-Stress Industrial Environments
When the success of your project depends on materials that refuse to fail, our Nylon 11 stands alone. Engineered from premium, bio-based Polyamide 11 resins, this tubing offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio and a higher level of impact resistance than standard polyamides. Designed for the most demanding industrial environments, it remains stable and crack-resistant across a massive temperature range, from frozen outdoor lines to high-heat engine compartments.
Why Nylon 11?
While Nylon 12 is a common industry standard, our Nylon 11 offers distinct mechanical advantages for critical systems:
Superior Impact Resistance: Remains flexible and tough even in sub-zero temperatures (rated down to -60°F) where other plastics become brittle.
Lower Moisture Absorption: Maintains its dimensional stability and mechanical strength in humid or wet environments better than Nylon 6 or 12.
Greater UV Stability: Naturally more resistant to degradation from sunlight, making it the ideal choice for outdoor exposure.

Agriculture: Milking parlors and fluid transfer in harsh outdoor conditions.
Pro-Tip: To ensure maximum service life, avoid installing Nylon 11 under excessive tension or sharp bends. For high-vibration environments, ensure fittings are securely anchored to prevent air leakage.
Milky White PTFE Tubing
When reliability is non-negotiable and visibility isn’t a requirement, our Milky White PTFE Tubing is the “set it and forget it” solution for the world’s most demanding environments. Known for its signature opaque finish, this tubing offers the highest level of material density and consistency for critical fluid transfer and insulation.
It’s not just plastic—it’s an engineered barrier against heat, chemicals, and friction.
| Feature | Performance Rating |
| Material | 100% Virgin Grade PTFE |
| Color | Opaque / Milky White |
| Shore Hardness | D50 – D65 |
| Friction Coefficient | 0.05 to 0.10 (Ultra-Low) |
| Water Absorption | <0.01% (Hydrophobic) |
Why Choose the “Milky White” Standard?
Extreme Chemical Defense: From aggressive acids to volatile solvents, this tubing is chemically inert. It won’t leach into your media, and the media won’t degrade the tube.
Thermal Superiority: While other plastics melt or become brittle, our PTFE remains stable from -400°F up to 500°F. It thrives in the extremes where standard polymers fail.
The Slickest Surface on Earth: Its ultra-low coefficient of friction means lower pressure drops and a “self-cleaning” nature that resists clogs, scales, and biological growth.
Superior Opacity: The milky white finish provides a clean, professional look for industrial machinery and helps protect light-sensitive media from UV exposure.
Built for the Toughest Sectors
Industrial Automation: Ideal for pneumatic lines and custom assembly builds where durability is the priority.
