Superthane polyurethane tubing, which combines the properties of plastic and rubber, withstands wear, abrasion, weathering, chemicals, fuels, and moisture while remaining flexible. It can be used for a wide variety of gas and fluid transfer uses. The tubing is designed to withstand the rigors of applications involving pneumatics, many petroleum-based chemicals and liquids, granular material and slurry transfer, and protective jacketing, as well as clean fluids and gases. It also handles pressure and vacuum applications better than corresponding sizes of PVC or rubber. Features include abrasion and tear resistance, high tensile strength, low compression set, and good chemical resistance and weathering characteristics. Two formulations — ether and ester — are available. Both contain non-toxic ingredients that conform to FDA standards. The material is naturally flexible and needs no plasticizers that could leach out and cause tube hardening and flow contamination.?NewAge Industries Inc., Southampton, PA; 800-506-3924; www.newageindustries.com/sprthn.asp
