OVERVIEW of Nylotube® Nylon 11 & 12 Tubing |
NYLOTUBE® Nylon Tubing is offered in two formulations: Nylon-11 and Nylon-12. While both types exhibit similar physical properties and performance, nylon-11 is available in a food grade version made of FDA-approved materials (semi-rigid style, natural color). Nylon-12 is typically used in various industrial applications and is somewhat less expensive than Nylon-11. Nylon's elastic memory is exceptional and can withstand repeated flexing over a long period of time without fatigue or fracture. This makes it a popular choice for retractable coils. NYLOTUBE also offers high-impact resistance, even at subfreezing temperatures, and low moisture absorption to minimize dimensional instability.
Available Colors: Black, Blue, Green, Red & Yellow
Suggested Applications:
Air Conditioning Systems - Appliances - Automotives - Chemical Transfer - Compressed Air - Dispensing Equipment - Food & Beverage (with nylon-11, FDA Grade) - Fuel and Oil Transfer - Grease Lines - Housewares - Hydraulic Lines - Instrumentation - Laboratories - Manufacturing Equipment - Paint Supply - Pneumatic Controls - Refrigeration & Cooling Systems - Well Pumps & More.
