Clear Polyurethane Tubing

 

* Values listed are typical and are meant only as a guide to aid in design. Field testing should be performed to find the actual values for your application.
 
 
 
 
 
 
  • Available in both Ester and Ether formulations
  • Clear, flexible, resilient, tough; resistant to oils, greases and fuels
  • Resistant to weathering, tearing, impact, radiation and abrasion
  • RF-PU-ES has a wide range of temperature resistance: -95°F to 185°F 
  • Contains no plasticizer that can cause flow contamination or tube hardening
  • Can be heat sealed, coiled, fabricated or bonded 
  • 100% incinerable RF-PU-ET is approved by Scientific Ecology Group (S.E.G.) for the transfer of contaminated and clean liquids
RF-PU-ET is recommended for hydrolytic stability (resistance to moisture and fungus).
Approved by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF 51), RF-PU-ET also resists attack from ultraviolet rays, making it a good material for outside use. (Note: Ester
polyurethane does not react well with water, prolonged humid conditions, or attack from fungus.)
 
RF-PU is more resistant to pressure and vacuum applications than corresponding sizes of PVC or rubber. When used with Thermobarb fittings or Snapflex barbed fittings, RF-PU will not require clamps, provided that working pressures remain at or below 105 psi at ambient temperature.
 
Combining good chemical resistance with excellent weathering characteristics sets polyurethane apart from most other thermoplastics. It has exceptional resistance to most gasolines, oils, kerosene, and other petroleum-based chemicals, making it an ideal choice for fuel lines (although some additives in today’s gasoline and petroleum
