Pneumatic Air Tubing series include Polyurethane tubing(PU tubing), Nylon tubing, Polyethylene tubing(PE tubing), Poly-vinyl chloride tubing(PVC tubing), PFA etc.
Polyurethane (TPU) is a polymer composed of organic units joined by carbamate (urethane) links. PU tubing's function and characteristic: with good performance in oil resistance, anti-aging, high elasticity and good appearance. Normally, it's working temperature is -25 ℃ to 70 ℃. Its working pressure range is 0~10bar.
Pneumatic tubing is referred to as "specialized tubing" because it is specifically engineered for pneumatic systems, made from materials that meet pneumatic requirements, and offers a range of professional performance characteristics tailored to specific operating conditions. It is distinctly different from general-purpose or standard hoses.
Polyurethane tubing can be used as air tubing because it offers high flexibility, abrasion resistance, pressure resistance, and excellent air tightness, ensuring stable airflow even under high pressure and frequent bending conditions.
High-pressure and high-temperature resistant, ideal for industrial environments requiring high durability.
Lightweight and suitable for low-pressure pneumatic systems.
Highly corrosion-resistant, suitable for chemical and high-temperature environments.
Includes tube fittings, clamps, and protective coverings to ensure secure connections and extended tubing lifespan.
Nylon is a generic designation for a family of synthetic polymers, more specifically aliphatic or semi-aromatic polyamides. Nylon tubing is with good performance in moisture resistance, seawater or salt water resistance, and also good anti-aging performance, it's working temperature is -40 ℃ to 120 ℃, and working pressure range is from 0~20bar.
When selecting Pneumatic Air Tubing, consider the following key factors:
Ensure the tubing can withstand the system’s maximum operating pressure to prevent ruptures.
Different tubing materials have varying temperature tolerances, so choose accordingly based on the working environment.
If the pneumatic system requires frequent bending, opt for highly flexible PU tubing to minimize damage.
If exposed to chemicals or high humidity, select corrosion-resistant materials such as PFA PTFE tubing.
Thermoplastic of tubing is one of the important prerequisites for its use as pneumatic tubing.Polymers can undergo slight deformation under mechanical force and then return to their original shape, making them ideal for pneumatic systems that experience repeated bending, stretching, and pressure fluctuations. In addition, when heated, the material softens or melts, allowing the tubing to be reshaped or reformed.
With the rise of smart industry and environmentally friendly manufacturing,
Pneumatic Air Tubing plays a vital role in modern automation and sustainability initiatives. Its applications include:
As industries move towards Industry 4.0, pneumatic systems integrate with IoT-enabled sensors and AI-driven automation, optimizing energy efficiency and reducing waste.
Many pneumatic tubing materials, such as PU and PE, are now designed with recyclability and lower environmental impact in mind, contributing to sustainable industrial practices.
As the automotive industry shifts towards clean energy, pneumatic tubing is widely used in the assembly of EV components,
helping manufacturers achieve lightweight and energy-efficient designs.
With increasing concerns about hygiene and sustainability, food-grade and medical-grade pneumatic tubing ensure safety while minimizing environmental pollution.
Choosing the right Pneumatic Air Tubing enhances the stability and safety of pneumatic systems while supporting the transition towards smart industry and eco-friendly manufacturing.
When selecting tubing, consider factors such as pressure, temperature, flexibility, and corrosion resistance to ensure it meets specific application requirements while aligning with sustainability and automation trends.
