This flexible NSF-61 ester-based polyurethane tubing is designed for durability and long service life in demanding applications, offering excellent resistance to abrasion, radiation, weathering, and tearing. It provides high tensile strength and elongation, low compression set, and is free of plasticizers to help reduce the risk of flow contamination or tube hardening. It is also manufactured from non-toxic materials meeting FDA requirements for wet and fatty food contact applications.
Key specifications:
The tubing can be heat sealed, coiled, or bonded, and while commonly used in fuel and industrial applications, field testing is recommended due to variability in modern fuel additives. Prolonged exposure to water, humidity, or fungi can significantly reduce performance compared to ether-based polyurethane.
This tubing is utilized in various applications from electronic use to food processing. It is seen in cable jacketing, grease lines, insulating sleeves, metering pumps, pressure measuring devices, fluid transfer lines and many other areas. While Component Supply provides some information for possible applications for this tubing, there are too many possible functions for a comprehensive description of uses in various industries. Therefore, when considering a potential application in your particular industry, please consider contacting one of our knowledgeable representatives who assist researchers and product designers in choosing the best products for their specific applications.
Component Supply stocks this ester-based polyurethane tubing in the dimensions indicated on the chart below. Although we stock large volumes of this product for efficient and competitive distribution, we also seek to provide application-specific functionality to researchers and product designers by keeping minimum order quantities low and offering custom fabrication of our products.
