The Low Friction Polyurethane Tube is designed to reduce resistance during fluid movement, making it ideal for applications requiring smooth, reliable flow in confined or high-density piping environments. Its embossed surface reduces contact area with adjacent components, enhancing sliding performance and minimizing friction without the need for lubricants.
Constructed from polyurethane, this tubing features an embossed surface that directly reduces contact area between the tube and surrounding materials. The design is lubricant-free, which prevents blooming and ensures compatibility with water and clean environments, making it suitable for hygienic or sensitive applications.
The tube includes cut marks printed at 500 mm intervals along its length, providing a clear visual guide for accurate cutting during installation. Connection points are not specified in the product data, but the tubing is designed to be compatible with standard piping configurations and fittings.
This tubing performs reliably under a maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa at 65% relative humidity and 20°C. It can withstand a maximum vacuum of -100 kPa. For air, the operating temperature range is from -20°C to 70°C; for water, it ranges from -15°C to 60°C—both conditions avoid freezing and ensure consistent performance in varying environments.
Available in seven sizes and eight distinct tube colors, this product offers flexibility in both fit and appearance. The color options provide visual identification across different system components or zones without compromising functional performance.
Installation can be supported by the printed cut marks at 500 mm intervals, which assist in achieving precise cuts during setup. No specific integration points such as fittings or connectors are detailed in the technical data, but the low-friction design is optimized for use within existing piping systems where smooth routing and reduced drag are required.
