Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the primary difference between your standard and wire-reinforced tubing?

Standard tubing with textile reinforcement is ideal for general pressure applications. The wire-reinforced variant incorporates a rigid steel helix to prevent the tube from collapsing under vacuum or suction conditions, making it essential for pneumatic material handling or suction lines.

How do I select the correct material compound (e.g., NBR vs. EPDM)?

Material selection depends on the media being conveyed. NBR-based compounds offer excellent resistance to oils and fuels. EPDM is superior for weathering, ozone, hot water, and steam. Our technical team can provide detailed chemical compatibility charts and recommendations based on your specific fluid type.

Can this tubing be used for food or potable water applications?

Our standard tubing is designed for industrial use. For food-grade or drinking water applications, we offer specialized compounds that are NSF/WRAS certified. Please inquire about these specific product lines.

What are the available packaging options for export?

We offer flexible packaging to ensure product integrity during transit. Tubing is typically supplied on coils or in cut lengths, packed in poly bags and sturdy cartons. For large volumes, we can palletize and containerize shipments securely.

Do you offer custom printing or branding on the tubing?

Yes. We provide custom color extrusion and continuous stripe printing for brand identification, size marking, or safety warnings. Minimum order quantities apply for custom printing services.
