Polyurethane’s 3 specific materials – ether, ester and food-grade ”crystal” – offer excellent flexibility and outstanding use in a wide range of applications, allowing for up to 50% space reduction when compared to semi-rigid PA tubing.

Features/Benefits:

– Excellent Mechanical Properties

• Consistent tensile strength for optimum longevity
• Optimal bend radius
• Good vibration absorption
• Unsurpassed abrasion resistance for a single layer tubing
• UV-resistant
• Superior vacuum capability due to surface hardness
• Remaining length marking
• Silicone-free

– 3 Material Grades

• PU ester: perfect for pneumatic applications
• PU ether: no water absorption; superior chemical resistance to PU ester
• PU ether food-grade ”crystal”:
identification of fluids and circuits
chemical resistance superior to PU ether
improved longevity
