Nylon Tubing

Introduction to Nylon Tubing

Nylon tubing is an engineering plastic pipe primarily made from polyamide (PA). It features high strength, corrosion resistance, flexibility, and easy installation, making it widely used in industrial, automotive, medical, pneumatic, and hydraulic systems.

Core Advantages

· Strong Mechanical Properties: Resistant to tension, compression, and wear; suitable for high-pressure environments (e.g., hydraulic lines).

· Good Chemical Stability: Resistant to oils, fuels, and weak acids/bases; suitable for conveying various media.

· Broad Temperature Range: Standard types can withstand -40°C to +120°C; reinforced types up to 150°C.

· Lightweight & Flexible: Weighs only 1/7 of metal pipes, with a small bending radius for easy installation.

Primary Applications

· Industrial: Pneumatic tool lines, hydraulic systems, chemical fluid transfer.

· Automotive Manufacturing: Fuel lines, brake fluid lines, cooling system lines.

· Medical & Food: FDA-certified tubing for pharmaceutical liquids and beverage transfer.

· Electronics: Wire harness protection, coolant circulation lines.

Common Types

· PA6: Cost-effective, suitable for general pneumatic and low-to-medium pressure hydraulic systems.

· PA11/PA12: Flexible with excellent low-temperature resistance, used for automotive and medical catheters.

· Glass Fiber Reinforced PA6: High-pressure resistant, used as a metal replacement in construction machinery.

Main Application Areas

· Pneumatic Systems (Compressed air transfer)

· Automotive Industry (Fuel lines, brake lines, cooling systems)

· Hydraulic Transmission (Construction machinery, injection molding machines)

· Food & Medical (FDA-compliant for liquid transfer)

· Electronics (Wire harness protection, cooling lines)

Selection Guide

· High-Pressure Environment → Choose reinforced nylon tubing (PA6+GF)

· Low-Temperature Flexibility Needs → PA11 / PA12

· Food-Grade Applications → Choose FDA-certified nylon tubing

With its comprehensive performance, nylon tubing has become an ideal alternative to metal, rubber, and PVC pipes, suitable for various industrial and civil applications.

Leveraging its lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and long-lasting characteristics, nylon tubing serves as an ideal substitute for metal and rubber pipes, meeting fluid transfer demands in complex working conditions.
