    • Frequently Asked Questions

    What is nylon tubing?

    Nylon tubing is a unique kind of tubing made from polyamide resin. It provides an increased bend radius and added light and heat stabilization compared to many other tubing options. Nylon tubing also offers improved temperature and pressure resistance.

    What are nylon tubes used for?

    Nylon tubes are mainly used in industry, and primarily used in areas such as: robotics, hydraulic hoses, fuel lines, vacuum lines, vapor lines, brake lines, air lines, oil processing lines, chemical processing lines, and tool lubricating systems.

    What are the benefits of Nylon 12 tubes?

    Nylon 12 is a good general-use plastic with broad additive applications and is known for its toughness, tensile strength, impact strength and ability to flex without fracture. This makes it a perfect grade nylon to use for tubing.
