Nylon 11 tubing (also referred to as polyamide 11) is considered a more earth friendly, “green” type of flexible tubing. It is manufactured using castor oil, which is a renewable resource obtained from the seeds of the castor plant. Nylon 11 tubing can withstand higher temperatures and pressures, making it an ideal choice for many applications. Some of the pneumatic applications include airline controls and airline accessories. When compared to other nylon tubing it allows for a lighter weight wall, greater flexibility and smaller bend radius. It is also more corrosion resistant than other types of nylons because of its ability to absorb less moisture. Its heat and UV stabilization makes it resistant to stress-cracking, so it works well in sunny areas like Arizona. It is chemical resistant which makes it a good choice in areas where exposure to certain chemicals is a possibility. Freelin-Wade offers Nylon 11 tubing in a variety of sizes and colors. There are also a number of variations possible. We’re happy to match any color you need, configure a coil, bond up to two tubes, print it and cut it to length. In addition to the standard Nylon 11 tubing, Freelin-Wade has resins for Soft Nylon 11 and Nylon 11 High Pressure Tubing. All types of the Nylon 11 resins can be ordered as straight or coiled flexible tubing.
