What is so unique about urethane tubing that makes it sought after by such diverse industries over other conventional thermoplastics? Is it because urethane tubing can be safely used for food handling?
Perhaps its urethane tubing’s recovery properties, similar to that of rubber, that make it a top choice?
Or is it due to the fact that urethane tubing can be custom manufactured in a range of hardness?
Since 1950 when urethane was first introduced, it has become a replacement for plastics, and in many cases, metals. Typically because urethane tubing is free of plasticizers, it will be specified over these other materials particularly if the application will cause the urethane tubing to become worn-down due to excessive exposure to friction or abrasion.
When companies select urethane tubing they do so because they have been provided assurance that the urethane tubing will deliver optimal performance that keeps their business operational. There is little if no opportunity for urethane tubing to fail, as it can result in lost revenue or increased expenses for a business.
It is for this reason, custom tubing manufacturing companies often recommend urethane tube to their customers because urethane tubing, unlike other materials, won’t break, tear, swell, deteriorate, crack, or abrade. Due to its ability to retain these strong properties will lower the need for urethane tubing to be replaced or repaired.
Urethane tubing, while considered expensive, will provide numerous business advantages of not only being able to withstand demanding applications, but urethane tubing will deliver cost-effective solutions for your bottom line.
