Polyurethane (PU) tubing is a common type of flexible plastic hose widely used in various industries for its outstanding flexibility, wear resistance, and versatility. Its applications span a range of industries, including industrial manufacturing, medical equipment, automotive production, food processing, construction, electronic manufacturing, and agriculture.
In these sectors, PU tubing serves as an ideal choice for the transmission of gases and liquids, as well as for applications such as connecting pneumatic tools, medical catheters, braking systems, air conditioning pipelines, food-grade liquid transfer, building water supply pipelines, electronic wiring, and agricultural irrigation systems. This highlights the exceptional performance and diverse applications of PU tubing in different scenarios.
Characteristics of PU Tubing
Polyurethane tubing is resistant to oil, aging, and has high hardness and elasticity. It exhibits high tear strength, heat resistance, and excellent transparency, along with good tensile, flexural, abrasion resistance, and solvent resistance. It is not easily oxidized and achieves a level of 3 or above in resistance to yellowing.
◆ Elasticity and Flexibility: PU tubing possesses excellent elasticity and flexibility, making it suitable for curved and bent applications. It can undergo stretching and bending without losing its elasticity.
◆Wear Resistance: Polyurethane tubing typically has high wear resistance, making it suitable for applications that involve frequent movement or bending.
◆Oil Resistance: PU tubing exhibits resistance to various liquids and oils, making it perform well in environments with lubricating oils or greases.
◆Chemical Corrosion Resistance: PU tubing shows resistance to certain chemicals, although the specific corrosion resistance may vary depending on material preparation.
◆Excellent Air Tightness: PU tubing generally has good airtightness, making it suitable for applications involving gas transmission, such as pneumatic systems.
◆High-Temperature and Low-Temperature Resistance: PU tubing can maintain elasticity and flexibility within a certain temperature range, making it suitable for both high and low-temperature environments.
◆Lightweight: Polyurethane tubing is relatively lightweight, making it easy to handle and install.
◆Diverse Colors: With over 30 color options available, PU tubing can be customized based on application requirements, aiding in distinguishing different pipeline uses.
◆Environmental Friendliness: Polyurethane material is considered a relatively environmentally friendly choice in some applications, especially when compared to certain other plastic materials.
