Elastic rubber tubing
Elastic Rubber Tubing has been a prime way of transferring liquids and gases in the healthcare and medical industry for ages. It is a pipe-like structure made out of elastic rubber.Its flexibility and durability make it the ideal option for multiple industries like food, instrumentation and sports goods. One can find an elastic rubber tubing either made up of natural rubber or synthetic rubber material. Both of these rubbers are of premium quality and can be differentiated based on their usages.
Even though natural rubber is not perfectly resistant to ozone, sunlight and heat, one can make it better with certain additives. Typically an elastic rubber tubing is made out of latex as it is by far the most flexible and the most sterile-friendly material. The structure of latex tubes is such that even if you bend or stretch them, they will retain their original shape and allow user-friendly flexibility. You can find these tubes in different types of transparencies ranging from completely opaque, translucent, solid and multicoloured. These types allow the users to monitor the flow of contents passing through the tubes if they wish to.
An elastic rubber tubing is perfect for industrial usage because it can easily maintain the hygiene of its contents. They are extremely easy to clean and disinfect using sterilizing streams, chemicals like Ethylene Oxide, or even gamma radiation. Latex tubes can easily withstand long years of harsh sterilizing without causing any damage to their contents or their interior.
Also used for electrical and household purposes, this elastic rubber tubing is spark resistant and abrasion-resistant. Its temperature range is also impressive. Most importantly, they are durable, strong, elastic and non-toxic. Making their way from health care industries, they have also become an excellent fit for multiple manufacturers owing to their add on properties and extensive flexibility.

Discuss Your RequirementsProduct specifications
- Product form
- Hollow elastomer tubing for a fitted line or sleeve
- Material options discussed
- Natural rubber / latex. Choose one formulation for the actual contact and loading conditions.
- Application focus
- Medical-device assemblies, food-processing equipment and industrial fluid lines. Size the part against the selected assembly.
- Dimensions to confirm
- Inside diameter, outside diameter, wall thickness and cut length. Match these to medical-device assemblies and food-processing equipment.
- Extension duty
- Specify free length, working extension, attachment ends and the force required through the movement.
- Contact conditions
- Other gases and food ingredients: define concentration, temperature and contact time, then check compatibility with the chosen compound.
- Exposure to evaluate
- Sunlight or UV, ozone and rubbing or abrasion. Validate the selected material under the combined conditions.
- Cleaning and reuse
- Specify the cleaning or sterilization cycle discussed for the application, including temperature, duration and permitted reuse.
- Line layout
- Check bend radius, unsupported spans and clearance at both connections.
