A resin tube with excellent flexibility and pressure resistance.
In industrial equipment, particularly in automation and labor-saving devices, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and scientific instruments where stringent quality is required to avoid machine troubles, high performance is also necessary for the piping tubes used for gases and liquids such as air and water. At the same time, challenges related to the cost of the tubes, durability, flexibility, and compatibility with piping ports and tube fittings are always present. UP tubes, made primarily from polypropylene (PP), are resin tubes that feature high pressure resistance, excellent flexibility, and cost performance, making them suitable for piping gases and liquids such as air and water in automation and labor-saving devices, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and scientific instruments.

basic information
The base material, PP, is relatively inexpensive and lightweight among plastics, with excellent balance of rigidity and impact resistance, as well as heat resistance and chemical resistance. By blending this PP with olefin-based resins that enhance flexibility in a unique ratio, we have achieved the characteristics unique to PP, along with flexibility that allows for a minimum bending radius of 9.0mm (for the 4 x 2.5 type) and pressure resistance performance with a maximum operating pressure of 0.8MPa. This resin tube is ideal as a replacement for nylon tubes that are not used under high pressure, and it contributes to the stable operation of equipment, devices, and systems in sites using Ushio Lighting's plastic fittings "Z Union." Moreover, even when disposed of, it generates fewer dioxins compared to PVC, thereby reducing environmental impact. ■Main Features ● Achieves high cost performance ● High pressure resistance (0.8MPa) ● Excellent flexibility allows for a small bending radius, enabling piping in limited spaces ● Chemical resistance similar to that of PP ● Translucent, allowing for visual confirmation of fluids ● Quality control through high-precision sensors ensures stable quality
