About Our Imperial Semi-Rigid Nylon Tubing
Our Imperial Semi-Rigid Nylon Tubing (Product Code: NIR) is specifically designed for industrial applications that demand higher temperature and pressure capabilities beyond those of standard flexible nylon tubing. Manufactured from impact-modified, heat and UV-stabilised PA12 nylon, this tubing provides enhanced thermal resistance and mechanical strength. It excels in demanding environments such as hydraulic systems, high-pressure pneumatic controls, and automotive fuel lines, where reliability and performance are essential. Available in imperial sizes ranging from ⅛″ I.D. to 1″ O.D., our semi-rigid tubing meets rigorous industry standards for modern industrial, automotive, and pneumatic applications.
Key Features:
- Exceptional Chemical Resistance: Withstands exposure to oils, fuels, and a wide range of chemicals, making it ideal for harsh and corrosive environments.
- Durable and Impact-Modified: Engineered for toughness and resilience, ensuring longevity even at low temperatures.
- UV-Stabilised: Enhanced resistance to weathering and UV exposure for prolonged outdoor use.
- Seamless, Mirror-Smooth Bore: Ensures optimal flow rates and minimises pressure drops in fluid transfer applications.
- Precision Manufacturing: Produced to exacting tolerances for consistent and reliable performance.
- Vibrant Color Options: Available in more than 11 colors including Natural, Blue, Black, Red, Green, Yellow, Purple, Pink, Brown, Grey, and Orange.
Applications:
Our Imperial Semi-Rigid Nylon Tubing is ideal for a broad spectrum of applications, including:
- Pneumatic Controls: Suitable for instrument lines and control circuits requiring semi-rigid tubing.
- Fuel and Oil Lines: Perfect for automotive fuel lines, oil transfer, and lubrication lines due to its chemical resistance.
- Hydraulic Systems: Ideal for hydraulic lines where durability and chemical resistance are critical.
- Air Brake Systems: Complies with industry standards for use in air brake systems.
- Chemical Transfer: Resistant to dilute acids and alkalis, suitable for laboratory and industrial chemical handling.
- Compressed Air Systems: Maintains integrity in moisture-rich environments.
- Refrigeration and Coolant Lines: Performs efficiently across a wide temperature range.
Our tubing is unprinted for a clean appearance, with printing available upon request. Its low water absorption and high chemical resistance make it the perfect choice for demanding industrial applications where performance and reliability are paramount.
