Neoprene rubber tubing

Neoprene rubber is made up of coal, salt and limestone. It is a form of synthetic rubber. The products made from neoprene rubber tubing are majorly utilised for outdoor applications.Neoprene is actually derived from a powder called Polychloroprene. Other ingredients are also included to produce elasticity and other beneficial properties. Neoprene rubber tubing has the capacity to hold out against a wide range of temperature variations. It is also resistant to petroleum-based products and is more than often used around fuels and lubricating oils.

There are heat shrinking variables available for neoprene tubes. These tubes will shrink when the temperature is hot enough and are applied on the inside. This will cover tightly over the materials. However, neoprene rubber tubing is not advised for electrical environments or applications because it doesn’t have good electrical properties. This type of tubing won’t protect the liquid from electrical conduction so its application in refrigerators or electrical appliances is absent. The most popular type of neoprene rubber tubing is black. Other colours are also available but black is the preferred colour. The application of this tubing is not only limited to fluids but to cables and wire bundles as well.

This category of tubing is tough and durable and provides excellent abrasion resistance. It can withstand general petroleum derivatives and provide a strong cut through the tubing. At low temperatures, it is adjustable and flame resistant. Neoprene tubing meets the standards of safety requirements from flame and toxicity so it is a huge hit in the mass transit industry. After a long period of time, this tubing might deteriorate and need replacement. Various inner and outer diameters for this tubing are available to match the requirements perfectly. Neoprene tubing is the perfect choice for accommodating and transferring petroleum products, esters, oils and fuels. However, its poor ability for electrical appliances should be noted. Selecting this tubing should be done with clear considerations of the purpose needed to be achieved.
