Sept. 10, 2013
pneumatic tubing now includes UV-stabilized polyurethane (PUR) and PTFE styles.
NITRA pneumatic tubing now includes UV-stabilized polyurethane (PUR) and PTFE styles. PUR tubing protects against UV rays and UV lights used in curing processes. It is available in 5/32- to 1/2-in. and 4- to 12-mm sizes in 100- and 500-ft rolls. PTFE tubing has a Shore D 55 hardness resists mechanical degradation under severe conditions, such as washdown and high-pressure compression fittings. It is available in ¼- to ½-in. and 4- to 12-mm sizes in 100-ft rolls.AutomationDirect, 770.889.2858, www.automationdirect.com
