Suprene® Thermoplastic Rubber Tubing
Suprene thermoplastic rubber (TPR) tubing combines the processability of plastics with the flexibility and durability of rubbers. Typically more lightweight and formable than rubber, TPR has been growing in acceptance for many applications. It provides outstanding compression characteristics, making it an ideal choice for peristaltic pump applications.
The FDA raw material is suitable for a variety of clean uses and is autoclavable. The material also offers excellent resistance to flex fatigue and tear. It maintains good flexibility to temperatures approaching -80°F.
Black industrial Suprene offers good resistance to U.V. radiation, ozone, chemicals and other fluids. It will also handle applications where oil may splash onto the tubing and is well suited for outdoor use.
