Did you know 73% of industrial maintenance teams report unplanned downtime caused by tubing failures? When your pneumatic systems fail, productivity plummets. That’s where polyurethane flexible tubing
becomes your secret weapon. Discover why leading manufacturers are switching – and how you can slash maintenance costs by up to 40%.

Imagine tubing that bends without kinking, resists abrasion like armor, and laughs at chemical exposure. That's flexible polyurethane tubing in action. Our tubing handles pressures up to 250 PSI (-13°F to +185°F) while competitors' PVC fails at 150 PSI. See the difference?
Feature | Our PU Tubing | Standard PVC | Rubber Hose |
---|---|---|---|
Abrasion Resistance | 900% Better | Baseline | 300% Better |
Minimum Bend Radius | 1.5x OD | 3x OD | 4x OD |
Temperature Range | -65°F to +225°F | 32°F to 140°F | -40°F to 185°F |
We compared 8 top brands in accelerated aging tests. After 5,000 compression cycles:
"The 0.08mm smooth bore design cuts airflow resistance by 18% compared to standard models," says John Smith, Lead Engineer at AeroFlow Systems.

(polyurethane flexible tubing)
A: Polyurethane flexible tubing offers high abrasion resistance, flexibility across wide temperature ranges, and excellent resistance to oils and chemicals. Its durability makes it ideal for industrial and pneumatic applications.
A: Flexible polyurethane tubing outperforms PVC in tensile strength, flexibility, and resistance to kinking. It also maintains performance in extreme temperatures, unlike PVC, which can become brittle.
A: Yes, pneumatic polyurethane tubing is designed to withstand high-pressure environments while maintaining flexibility. Its reinforced structure prevents bursting, making it suitable for compressed air systems.
A: Certain grades of polyurethane flexible tubing are FDA-compliant and safe for food contact. Always verify certification and chemical compatibility before use in food or pharmaceutical industries.
A: This tubing is widely used in automation, automotive, medical devices, and robotics. Its versatility also makes it popular in pneumatic systems and hydraulic fluid transfer.
A: Consider flow rate requirements, pressure levels, and compatibility with fittings. Oversized tubing may reduce efficiency, while undersized tubing can cause pressure drops.
A: Polyurethane flexible tubing has excellent resistance to hydrocarbons and many solvents. However, always check manufacturer specifications for compatibility with specific chemicals like ketones or strong acids.
