Gum rubber tubing
Gum rubber tubing is a very cost-effective type of rubber tubing. Gum rubber is a natural material that has fantastic characteristics for making rubber tubing. It is so suitable for rubber tubing that it would be logical that it is synthetic and that it was made with the goal of getting great rubber material, but nature did it for us. Nature has given us rubber that is tear resistant and resilient, and tensile strength is at a very high level, among the best of all rubber materials.
In addition to being tear resistant and therefore highly durable, gum rubber tubing has many other features that will benefit you. For example, it is always mentioned that the shape memory of rubber is perfect. Precisely because it has such flexibility, and retains flexibility even at very low temperatures, the application is practically unlimited. It can be used in almost all industries, such as chemical and pharmaceutical, and rubber gum tubing is also suitable for everyday use in homes. For example, flexibility at low temperatures, which we have already mentioned, makes gum rubber tubing regularly used for hydraulics and pneumatics. Due to tear resistance, it can also be used as a vacuum tubing, which other rubber tubing, for example silicone, cannot, because damage will occur.
Gum rubber tubing is actually made of natural latex, and in factories it is enriched with certain chemicals to keep it thicker and even more durable. How thick the walls of gum rubber tubing will be, you can decide, depending on whether you need a thicker or a thinner. You can also choose any length of rubber tubing as well as inside and outside diameter. Outside diameter is not so important, but inside diameter is most important for the flow of liquids and gases that you transport through rubber tubing, so pay attention to it.
