Nylon tubing is a type of plastic tubing that is strong and resists abrasion. This type of plastic tubing is typically used in high-temperature situations or when high pressure is needed. Nylon tubing can be used on air lines, grease lines, high pressure gas lines, and vacuum lines. It can also function with the use of some diluted acids, organic solvents, hydraulic fluids, and oils. Due to its low weight and corrosion and abrasion resistance, nylon tubing often serves as a substitute for metal tubing. Nylon tubing is used in a wide range of industrial applications. Some nylon tubing is made of particular types of nylon approved by the FDA, making it ideal for the food and beverage industries. Nylon tubing is also used for aerospace, medical, filtration, refrigerant, irrigation, laboratory, and many other uses. There are many favorable characteristics of nylon tubing. It offers extraordinary elastic memory and can withstand continuous flexing over long periods of time. Nylon tubing is often preferred for pneumatic line, retractable coils, and low-pressure lines. Nylon tubing also features high-impact resistance and resistance to abrasion, even at very low temperatures.
