Chlorine resistant rubber tubing

Without chlorine resistant rubber tubing it would be almost impossible to use chlorine, and chlorine is a chemical element that has a very wide application and is needed by people for a variety of purposes. Chlorine is a yellow-green gas at room temperature, hence its name which in Greek means greenish yellow. Although we all know about chlorine because it is used to kill bacteria and other dangerous organisms in swimming pools and to provide us with a safe environment for swimming, we should not forget that chlorine is a toxic gas and is even classified as a chemical weapon.

That is why the importance of chlorine resistant rubber tubing is very high. Without this special type of tubing, chlorine manipulation would be very complicated or even impossible. In addition to being toxic, chlorine is also a very reactive element and a strong oxidizing agent. Disinfection of swimming pools and other places where it is necessary to kill bacteria is certainly not the only thing for which chlorine is used. Chlorine is indispensable for the production of PVC, and PVC is the type of plastic that is most used today, because it is used to make window frames, insulation and much more. That is why many industries need chlorine resistant rubber tubing, and another industry where chlorine resistant rubber tubing is widely used is the pharmaceutical industry.

Chlorine resistant rubber tubing can be made from several types of rubber that are resistant to the negative effects of chlorine. All types of rubber used for this type of tubing are very durable and can withstand various extreme temperatures, as well as being exposed to enormous pressure, without permanent damage. It is also possible to order chlorine resistant rubber tubing in the required size, and various sizes are already available on the market. The thickness of the wall also varies, which in this case must not be too thin so that chlorine does not escape.
