Known for its flexibility and good mechanical strength.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Polyamide (PA):<\/strong> Manufactured according to DIN 74234, usually PA12. Excellent performance under mechanical stress and vibrations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Polyethylene (PE):<\/strong> Thermoplastic with high chemical compatibility. Suitable for food contact.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Operating Temperature Range<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>PU:<\/strong> from 0\u00baC to +60\u00baC<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>PA:<\/strong> from -35\u00baC to +100\u00baC (peaks up to 120\u00baC)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>PE:<\/strong> from -29\u00baC to +66\u00baC<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Working and Burst Pressure<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>PU:<\/strong> Ideal for standard pneumatic applications. Its pressure resistance varies depending on the tube diameter, but offers a good balance between flexibility and the ability to handle compressed air. Always check the manufacturer\u2019s tables for proper use.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>PA:<\/strong> A very robust option. Can withstand up to three times its working pressure without bursting, making it perfect for systems with pressure spikes, such as hydraulic installations or demanding air lines.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>PE:<\/strong> Designed for moderate pressure, typical of water or misting applications. Not the most pressure-resistant option, but sufficient where chemical compatibility and food safety are priorities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/imopac.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ChatGPT-Image-30-jun-2025-08_56_29-1-683x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imopac.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ChatGPT-Image-30-jun-2025-08_56_29-1-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/imopac.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ChatGPT-Image-30-jun-2025-08_56_29-1-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/imopac.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ChatGPT-Image-30-jun-2025-08_56_29-1-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/imopac.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ChatGPT-Image-30-jun-2025-08_56_29-1.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Chemical and Mechanical Resistance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Resistance to Chemicals and Harsh Environments<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>PU:<\/strong> Good abrasion and mechanical wear resistance. However, it may degrade with prolonged exposure to water, steam, or aggressive chemicals. Recommended for dry and controlled environments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>PA:<\/strong> Excellent performance against oils, fuels, solvents, and industrial chemicals. Its ability to work in demanding conditions makes it ideal for automotive and hydraulic applications.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>PE:<\/strong> High chemical resistance, especially against acids, alkalis, and cleaning agents.

One of the most durable materials for technical applications.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>PE:<\/strong> Adequate mechanical performance in static or low-demand applications. Not recommended for systems with continuous mechanical stress or frequent impact but suitable for fixed, secure installations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Flexibility and Bending Radius<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>PU:<\/strong> Excellent.

Its flexibility and lower cost make it perfect for such uses.

It also offers high <strong>chemical and mechanical resistance<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Polyethylene<\/strong>, thanks to its resistance to <strong>chemicals and cleaning agents<\/strong>, is the go-to option for <strong>food contact or hygienic applications<\/strong>\u2014provided it&#8217;s certified. For these environments, always use a <strong>reliable and certified supplier<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While we focused on PU, PA, and PE here, the world of industrial tubing includes many other materials like PTFE (Teflon), rubber hoses, and reinforced tubing.
