There are three thermoplastic tubing compounds used for the majority of pneumatic lines: Nylon, Polyethylene and Polyurethane. All three offer distinct advantages.
Polyethylene is the most commonly used tubing due to its flexibility, wide range of chemical resistance and lower cost.
Nylon tubing is a popular choice for low-pressure pneumatic applications because of its combination of flexibility and toughness.
Polyurethane tubing is usually the best choice for applications requiring extensive flexing, a small bend radius or where kinking can be a problem.
The pneumatics industry is in constant flux and becoming increasingly sophisticated each year. Turn to the Canaflex specialists to make sure everything flows smoothly!
