  Notes

NYLOTUBE® is resistant to solvents, alkalies, oils, greases, petroleum products, fungus, and molds. It has generally good resistance to dilute mineral and organic acids, but in-plant tests are suggested.

Semi-Rigid grade, black color, is heat and light stabilized.

Nylon brittleness is usually caused by cycles of water absorption and depletion. NYLOTUBE® is not dependent on moisture for flexibility, so life expectancy is greatly increased with brittleness eliminated.

Corrugated nylon tubing is available.

Custom sizes and colors, including clear, are available through minimum order. Repetitive cutting, bonding, coiling, heat-formed shapes, and custom fabrication are also available. Samples of stock material are available upon request.
