Applications and Characteristics Of Plastic Tubing

Applications Of Plastic Tubing:-
Plastic tubing manufacturers provide supply for almost every area of life.
Applications vary widely from beverage tubing to aerospace, from birdfeeder tubing to medical or pharmaceutical, also, filtration, refrigerant, high viscosity, irrigation, oil or fuel, pneumatic or compressed air and even golf tubes.
Available compounds vary almost as much as the applications. Common materials are as follows:
nylon, polyethylene, polyurethane, urethane, latex, silicone, polyolefin, polypropylene (PPr), PVC, CPVC, vinyl and many more
Characteristics Of Plastic Tubing:-

Plastic tubing manufacturers can make their products with various characteristics, including coiled, corrugated (or convoluted), anti-static, reinforced, spark resistant, explosion proof, multi-element and multi-layered Plastic tubes and PVC tubing used for industrial purposes are generally smaller and more flexible than hoses or pipes.
Materials for flexible tubing include polyurethane, santoprene, flexible vinyl (FPVC), low density and linear density polyethylene (LDPE and LLDPE), flexible nylon 11 and nylon 12.
Some applications require rigid tubing.
In these situations, the following materials are commonly used: polycarbonate, rigid vinyl (RPVC), ABS, high impact polystyrene HIPS, butyrate, propionate and PETG.
Semi-rigid materials include polypropylene and high density polyethylene (HDPE).
Although each type of plastic tubing has too many characteristics to provide exhaustive comparisons in this small space, some differences are as follows. Latex tubing has better elasticity, flexibility and gripping power than silicone, though silicone has a better deterioration rate.
Nylon tubing is preferred for pneumatic lines and low-pressure lines and has good impact and abrasions resistance, but some types of nylon can be damaged by moisture.
Polyethylene tubing can be used for liquids and gas lines at temperatures ranging from -60° to 160°F (-51° to 71°C).
Polyurethane tubing provides resistance to chemicals but has low temperature flexibility, while polyolefin is highly flame retardant and has a wide temperature range. PVC tubing can also be used for pneumatic lines at pressures reaching 125 psi with continuous temperatures reaching 100°F/38°C.
