Thin rubber tubing
Although at first glance it would be logical to buy rubber tubing with thick walls, this is only the case if you do not know all the applications of rubber tubing in general. If you know, then you know how important thin rubber tubing is and in how many cases only thin rubber tubing can be used while some other type of rubber tubing for example would be useless. There are many reasons why customers opt for thin rubber tubing. Flexibility is certainly one of the main reasons. Unlike thick rubber tubing, which is generally very rigid and firm, so as such it is excellent for certain purposes, but with a lack of flexibility, you can bend thin rubber tubing by adapting it to a certain machine or container.
Whether you use it as drain tubing or in laboratory conditions or maybe as part of an air pump, thin rubber tubing can help, of course in accordance with the characteristics of the material from which it is made but also how thick it is, more precisely how thin it is. It can certainly be used for both hydraulics and cryogenic purposes, the food industry and many other places, but attention must be paid to hardness, rated pressure, maximum vacuum and all other important characteristics of rubber tubing.
How thick it will be depends on you. We classify a large number of different sizes in the category of thin rubber tubing, but some of them are ultra-thin while others are almost average size. Such a large offer was created due to the different needs of clients, and we also enabled easy customization, both sizes and materials and colors. For example, if you need a transparent thin rubber tubing to use for food contact, silicone is the only logical choice, and if you need a thin tubing that is very tear resistant, nothing is better than natural rubber.

Discuss Your RequirementsProduct specifications
- Product form
- Hollow elastomer tubing for a fitted line or sleeve
- Material options discussed
- Silicone and natural rubber / latex. Choose one formulation for the actual contact and loading conditions.
- Application focus
- Drainage connections, laboratory connections and food-processing equipment. Size the part against the selected assembly.
- Dimensions to confirm
- Inside diameter, outside diameter, wall thickness and cut length. Match these to drainage connections and laboratory connections.
- Wall control
- Dimension wall thickness separately from the bore; check the required bending behavior and connection fit at that thickness.
- Contact conditions
- Air and food ingredients: define concentration, temperature and contact time, then check compatibility with the chosen compound.
- Line layout
- Check bend radius, unsupported spans and clearance at both connections.
