Thin Wall Lay Flat Rubber Tubing

Considering the worldwide application of rubber tubing, it is only natural to assume that there are virtually hundreds of different types and styles of rubber tubing. As you probably know, all rubber tubing can be divided into two major categories – natural rubber tubing and synthetic rubber tubing. All of them have their own advantages and disadvantages compared to one another, but that is hardly where the differences end. As we’ve said, there are hundreds of different types of rubber tubing and we manufacture pretty much all of them, as you can tell from our extensive product catalogue.

One of the many types we manufacture is thin wall lay flat rubber tubing. Thin wall lay flat rubber tubing is used in several industries, such as medical, electrical or agricultural among many others. What makes lay flat rubber tubing special is the fact that they’re extremely flexible, due to their ultra-thin walls. The lay flat portion of the name comes from the shape of these tubes. They are pressed flat and they do not have a seam around the outside diameter, making them both versatile and aesthetically pleasing. Also, this lay flat shape also improves their durability and reliability, which is why it is often used in the medical industry, as it has a lower chance of failure compared to some other products.

On top of all that, thin wall lay flat rubber tubing is very lightweight, which can come in handy in many situations. Not only that, light weight and durable nature of this tubing makes it very easy and safe to manipulate. Also, thin wall lay flat rubber tubing is also chemically inert, meaning it is very stable when in contact with a broad spectrum of gases, liquids or other chemicals, once again making it ideal for the medical industry. To top things off, thin wall lay flat rubber tubing also comes with great insulating properties.
