Nylotube® Semi-Rigid & Flexible Grade Tubing
Nylotube Nylon-12 tubing is resistant to most solvents, alkalies, oils, greases, petroleum products, fungi, and molds. It has generally good resistance to dilute mineral and organic acids, but in cases where Nylotube is being used in critical applications or aggressive environments, in-plant tests are always recommended. Nylotube is manufactured from heat-and light-stabilized materials.
Nylon brittleness is usually caused by cycles of water absorption and depletion. Nylotube is not dependent on moisture for flexibility, so life expectancy is increased and the risk of brittleness greatly reduced.

- Very low moisture absorption: 1.4% max at 73°F
- Will not become brittle or swell because of water
- Excellent resistance to flexural fatigue, tube vibration, and movement
- Lightweight with excellent bend radii and pressure ratings
- Resists crushing, abrasion, and cracking
- Heat and light stabilized
- Free of BPA, conflict minerals, phthalates and latex
- REACH and RoHS compliant
- Available in semi-rigid or flexible grade, inch and millimeter sizes, and a variety of colors

Cut Pieces – When tubing comes in, for example, 100 foot coils, and you need it in 10’ sections, tubing can be cut. Request a quote.
Size – Tubing is stocked in common I.D. and O.D. sizes, but this product can be custom extruded in other sizes. Let’s talk about what you need. Minimum quantities apply.
Color – Have your tubing colored to match equipment, company colors, or identify line (hot or cold, indoor or outdoor, chemicals, etc..).
Opaque and transparent colors may be accommodated. Minimum quantities apply.
Custom Layline – Tailor the look of your company’s product by printing your tubing with your logo, part number, size information, date code, or other data that you specify. Printed products can reinforce and enhance your company identity, create products traceability, or identify capabilities or limitations of the item, all at a cost effective price.
In-line Cutting – Tubing can be cut to a specific length at the end of the extrusion line, accomplishing two processes – your extrusion and your cutting-to-length part – saving you time and cost. It also ensures that you received a straight piece with no coil set.
Hot Bond – Thermoplastic tubing is bonded together longitudinally using a proprietary heat process, resulting in an integrated ribbon of tubing. Hot bonding saves time and money on installations by eliminating the need to route multiple lines. It provides a neat appearance, offers easy line traceability for troubleshooting, and saves space. Prototyping is easy, and both long and short runs are welcome.
Heat Form – Fabricated shapes can eliminate problems such as kinking and often make installations easier. By using heat and special tooling in a controlled environment, custom shapes can be created such as elbows, twists, coils, and other various complex forms. All of these can be additionally incorporated together.
Hardness – This product can be custom extruded in a hardness, or durometer, that is harder or softer according to the unique needs of your application.
All custom products are subject to minimum order quantities and lead times. For other custom options, please contact us.
