RF-NY-R / RF-NY-F

Nylon-12 Semi Rigid and Flexible Grade Tubing

  • Very low moisture absorption 1.9% maximum at 73°F
  • Will not become brittle or swell when exposed to water 
  • Excellent resistance to flexural fatigue, tube vibration, and movement 
  • Lightweight, with excellent bend radii and pressure ratings 
  • Resists abrasion, crushing, and cracking 
  • Standard availability in metric sizes and colors 
  • Tightest tolerances available (see chart) 
  • 100% incineration-approved by Scientific Ecology Group (S.E.G.)
  • Semi-Rigid grade, black, is heat and light stabilized
Aimed as a substitute for metal, nylon’s light weight and its resistance to corrosion and abrasion have made it an attractive design choice.
 
RF-NY-R and RF-NY-F are now offered in the nylon-12 formulation for a lower cost with virtually the same physical properties and performance as nylon-11. Nylon’s elastic memory can withstand repeated flexing over a long period of time without fatigue or fracture.
 
Further, RF-NY-R and RF-NY-F offer high impact resistance, even at subfreezing temperatures, and low moisture absorption. While nylon brittleness can occur through cycles of water absorption and depletion, RF-NY-R and RF-NY-F are not dependent on moisture for flexibility. Their life
expectancy is greatly increased and brittleness is eliminated. RF-NY-R and RF-NY-F are resistant to solvents, alkalies, oils, greases, petroleum products, fungus, and
molds. These products have good resistance to diluted mineral and organic acids, but in-plant tests are suggested.
