This rigid, translucent amber tubing is suitable for applications requiring thin walls, tight tolerances, and high strength. It is made of polyimide, which resists commonly used solvents and oils such as hydrocarbons, alcohols, esters, and weak acids. It is lightweight and flexible, and resists heat. It has triple wall reinforcement for strength and an operating temperature range of -452 to +700 degrees F. It can be steam, gamma, or ETO sterilized for repeated use and meets United States Pharmocopeia (USP) Class VI standards for biocompatibility. This triple wall tubing is suitable for catheters, push rod tubes, and miniature structural matrices, among other applications.

Plastic tubing is used to transfer liquids, air, or solids, and it is characterized by a round, rectangular, or square shape and a hollow center. Plastic tubing is crimp-resistant and varies in bend radius (flexibility), chemical resistance, wall thickness, durometer hardness, and temperature and pressure handling abilities. The clarity of plastic tubing may be transparent (clear), translucent (semi-clear), or opaque (solid), and the tubing's coloring may indicate suitable applications. Barbed fittings are used to connect tubing or redirect flow in a fluid handling system. Plastic tubing is used in a wide variety of industries, such as agriculture, automotive, laboratory, and medicine. Applications for plastic tubing include blood and fluid handling, peristaltic pumps, electrical and thermal insulation, analytical systems, and food and beverage handling, among others.
