🟡Polyurethane (PU) Tubing
Introduction on Polyurethane (PU) Tubing
Polyurethane (PU) tubing is one of the most popular choices for pneumatic systems due to its superior elasticity, flexibility, durability, and resistance to wear. Known for its ability to withstand repeated flexing, PU tubing is ideal for dynamic applications where movement and bending are frequent. Available in various hardness levels and colors and spiral tubing too.
- Properties: Lightweight, semi-rigid, flexible
- Temperature Range: -20°C to +80°C
- Working Pressure: Up to 10 bars
- Pros:
- Inexpensive and easy to install
- Food and beverage safe (if FDA approved)
- Cons:
- UV Sensitivity
- Lower Pressure Rating
- Common Uses: industrial manufacturing, apparel industry, automation, robotics, fuel lines as well as in food and beverage industry

🔴Silicone Tubing
Introduction on Silicone Tubing
Silicone tubing is a flexible, biocompatible, and temperature-resistant material widely used in medical, pharmaceutical, food, and laboratory applications. Known for its softness and elasticity, silicone tubing maintains flexibility across a broad temperature range and resists hardening or cracking over time. Its non-reactive and inert nature makes it ideal for transferring air, water, or sensitive fluids without contamination.
- Properties: Very flexible, translucent, inert, soft
- Temperature Range: -60°C to +200°C
- Working Pressure: Upto 10 bars
- Pros:
- Excellent for high temperatures
- Biocompatible and food-grade options available
- Non-reactive and inert
- Cons:
- Poor abrasion resistance
- High cost
- Common Uses: Medical, pharmaceutical, food processing, lab environments

⚪Teflon (PTFE) Tubing
Introduction on Teflon (PTFE) Tubing
Teflon tubing, made from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), is known for its exceptional resistance, high temperature tolerance, and non-stick properties. Commonly used in harsh environments, Teflon tubing can handle aggressive high heat, and compressed air without degrading. It has a smooth, low-friction inner surface, which allows for efficient fluid or air flow and prevents material buildup.
- Properties: high temperature resistance
- Temperature Range: -260°C to +270°C
- Working Pressure: Medium to high (depends on wall thickness)
- Pros:
- Extreme chemical resistance
- High temperature performance
- Non-stick and low friction
- Cons:
- Less flexible
- More expensive
- Common Uses: pharmaceutical labs, food production, aerospace, and industrial fluid transport
