Extreme-Pressure Hard Plastic Tubing for Chemicals
- Flexibility: Semi-Flexible
- Compatible with Compression Tube Fittings
- Hard (See table for hardness rating)
- Temperature Range: See table
A lightweight alternative to stainless steel, this PEEK plastic tubing can handle extreme-pressure applications and has excellent impact resistance. It has the chemical resistance to withstand a variety of acids and other harsh substances. Tubing is opaque, so you cannot see inside the line to monitor flow. It is semi-flexible, so it’s good for gradual bends.
Note: The walls of this tubing will permanently collapse if bent too far.

Odor-Resistant Soft Rubber Tubing for Food and Beverage
- Flexible
- Compatible with Barbed Tube Fittings
- Soft (Durometer 50A)
- Temperature Range: -60° to 400° F
- Semi-Clear Silicone Rubber
Silver ions are blended into the walls of this silicone tubing to inhibit the growth of odor-causing microbes. Tubing is suitable for food and beverage applications. Free of plasticizers like DEHP, it won’t impart tastes to the fluid passing through it. Tubing is semi-clear, so you get a limited view of what's flowing through the line. It is flexible, so it bends easily around objects.

High-Temperature and High-Purity Soft Rubber Tubing
Not only is this tubing cured with platinum for high purity, it can handle higher temperatures than any of our other high-purity soft tubing. It is free of plasticizers like DEHP and will not impart tastes or odors to the fluid running through it. Tubing is not for use in medical applications. It is semi-clear, so you get a limited view inside the line. Tubing is flexible and bends easily around objects.

Miniature Stainless Steel Tubing
Also known as hypodermic or needle tubing, this tubing has thin walls and is made to tight tolerances for use in precision applications. It is welded with a smoothed weld bead on the inside to reduce particle buildup. Tubing connects by welding. To cut this tubing, you can use abrasive cutoff wheels and deburring tools or electrolytic cutting tools (not included).
304 stainless steel has very good corrosion resistance.
316 stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance.

Extreme-Pressure Miniature Stainless Steel Tubing
Also known as capillary tubing, this small-diameter tubing stands up to high-pressure applications. It has thin walls and is made to tight tolerances for use in precision applications. To cut this tubing, you can use abrasive cutoff wheels and deburring tools or electrolytic cutting tools (not included).
Seamless tubing is smoother and stronger than welded tubing and can be flared without splitting. 316 stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance.

A thin layer of silicon on the interior provides a smooth surface and offers protection against corrosive gases. Tubing has thin walls and is made to tight tolerances for use in precision applications. It is welded with a smoothed weld bead on the inside to reduce particle buildup. It also has very good corrosion resistance. To cut this tubing, you can use abrasive cutoff wheels and deburring tools (not included).

Ultra-Strength Lightweight Carbon Fiber Round Tubes
Often used in place of aluminum for structural frames, machinery components, and robotics, these tubes are lighter in weight and almost as rigid. Carbon fiber is known for its use in the aerospace industry where a balance of weight and strength is vital. Thanks to these tubes being lightweight, they reduce wear and stress on motorized parts to extend the life of machinery.
Plain matte tubes have fibers that run in one direction, making them strong in the direction of the fibers. They resist bending across the fibers but will splinter and separate like string cheese when bent along the length of the fiber. Matte carbon fiber is ready to paint and won’t reflect light, making it ideal for photography applications.
