Versatile Nylon Tubing Solutions

Metric & Imperial Sizes | Available in 30M & 100M Rolls

Our nylon tubing offers high performance for a range of applications. It is lightweight, durable, and resistant to chemicals. Choose the right type to match your needs.

Types of Nylon Tubing

• PA6 Nylon Tube: A strong and cost-effective option for general-purpose use. Offers good mechanical strength and impact resistance.
• Semi-Rigid PA12 Tube: A balance of flexibility and stiffness. Bends without kinking, making it ideal for controlled bending applications.
• Flexible PA12 Tube: Highly flexible yet strong. It resists chemicals and mechanical stress, making it suitable for demanding environments.

Key Benefits of Nylon Tubing

• Superior Flexibility: Bends easily without cracking.<
• Exceptional Strength: Handles high pressure and mechanical stress.
• Chemical Resistance: Works with a wide range of substances.
• Long-lasting Performance: High resistance to wear and temperature changes.
• Lightweight Design: Easy to handle and install.

Chemical Compatibility of PA12 (Nylon 12)

PA12 is a high-performance thermoplastic known for toughness and flexibility. Its chemical resistance depends on factors like temperature and exposure time.

Excellent Resistance To:

• Aliphatic hydrocarbons
• Aromatics & halogens
• Alcohols, ethers, ketones & esters

• Amines, alkalis & salts

Good Resistance To:

• Dilute mineral acids
• Vegetable oils & animal fats
• Glycols & phenols

Limited Resistance To:

• Strong acids & alkalis
• Oxidizing agents
• Halogenated hydrocarbons

Incompatible With:

• High concentrations of phenols
• Strong oxidizing agents at high temperatures

Note: Always test for compatibility in critical applications.

Working Pressure

The working pressure varies by tube size. As a guideline:
• 4mm - 12mm OD tubes: Minimum 13 Bar (e.g., 12x9mm)
• 5mm - 2mm OD tubes: Maximum 53 Bar

Frequently Asked Questions

What is nylon tubing used for?

Nylon tubing is used in pneumatics, hydraulics, fuel lines, chemical transport, and industrial applications. It is valued for its strength, flexibility, and resistance to wear and chemicals.

What is the difference between nylon and polyethylene tubing?

Nylon tubing is stronger, more durable, and has better chemical resistance. Polyethylene tubing is softer, more flexible, and often used for low-pressure applications.

Is nylon better than PVC?

Nylon is stronger, more resistant to chemicals, and handles higher temperatures than PVC. PVC is more flexible but can degrade faster under high stress or chemical exposure.

How much pressure can nylon tubing hold?

The pressure rating depends on tube size and wall thickness. 4mm - 12mm OD tubes can handle at least 13 Bar. 5mm - 2mm OD tubes can withstand up to 53 Bar.
