OVERVIEW of Polyurethane Tubing (Braided) |
Braided Polyurethane Tubing (sold under the brand name Urebrade®) is a Braid Reinforced Polyurethane Hose (PUR - PU Hose). Where applications involve repeated flexing, heavy vibration, or abrasion, Braided Polyurethane Tubing offers superior service life over other materials. Polyurethane tubing (also know as PUR hose) is supplied in an ether formulation, making it resistant to attack from moisture and fungi. Polyurethane tubing also resists attack from ultra-violet rays making it a good material for outside use. The compound used in Urebrade Polyurethane tubing is listed by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF 61).

FEATURES AND BENEFITS of Polyurethane Tubing (Braided) |
Featured of Braided Polyurethane Tubing:
Open mesh polyester braiding incorporated within the walls of flexible, ether-based polyurethane
Transparent ether-based polyurethane is made from non-toxic ingredients conforming to FDA standards and is listed by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF 61) for use with potable water
Offers much greater pressure capability than unreinforced polyurethane tubing
Resistant to weathering^, tearing, impact, abrasion, and radiation exposure, oils, greases, & fuels^^
Wide range of temperature resistance; -90°F to 175°F
Contains no plasticizer which can migrate and cause flow contamination or tube hardening
Naturallly transparent for visual contact with the flow
