Conductive Rubber Tubing

When you need to run tubing and transfer liquids around electrical components, it is imperative that you consider the build-up of static electricity. Static electricity can easily attract dust and other particles close to your electrical components and when it does, you’re at a greater risk of electrical malfunction. Now, we primarily use rubber tubing to run liquids near the electrical components. One of the most commonly used ones is conductive rubber tubing. Conductive rubber tubing is always manufactured from static-resistant, natural, or synthetic materials. Those rubber materials allow liquids and gasses to safely pass near the source of electrical currents without any fear of electrostatic discharge. Conductive rubber tubing is not only an excellent insulator but it also allows electricity to pass through it, minimizing the build-up of static electricity. That is usually achieved by adding a conductive liner.

Conductive rubber tubing is most commonly found in industries such as military, aerospace, medical or automotive. Those industries often deal with parts and products that need to be in perfect condition in order for them to work, so any presence of static electricity or dust is unacceptable.

Another neat feature of conductive rubber tubing is its ability to protect from electromagnetic interference, as well as radio frequency interference.

Aside from that, conductive rubber tubing is also very resistant, flexible, versatile, safe and affordable. One of the best things about conductive rubber tubing is the fact that it is very durable and resistant to many outside factors, including both extreme heat and cold and water. Moreover, conductive rubber tubing is very flexible and durable, so it won’t break or become damaged even if you have to bend it several times. On top of all that, conductive rubber tubing is quite affordable compared to some other forms of conductive tubing, which is why it is almost always a preferred choice.
