Nylon Tube: Forming & Bending Services
With exceptional dimensional stability and resistance to corrosion, nylon tube bending services are ideal for conveying process media and electrical applications. With our MLT Division, FormFab can manufacture nylon tubing to fit a variety of industrial needs. We specialize in forming existing tubing, meaning faster turnaround, tighter tolerances, and greater design flexibility for OEM and Tier-1 suppliers.
What is Nylon Tubing?
Nylon is a high-performance thermoplastic material engineered to excel in harsh industrial conditions. This versatile material combines exceptional strength with low weight, making it an ideal choice for systems that require both durability and efficiency.
Key characteristics that set nylon tubing apart include:
- Resistance to extreme temperatures, chemicals, and abrasion
- Self-extinguishing and non-toxic
- Elastic properties and moisture resistance
Nylon Tubing Properties
The enhanced mechanical, chemical, and thermal properties of nylon tubing make it particularly well-suited for conveying corrosive or high-temperature fluids and gases. Beyond fluid transfer, nylon serves as an excellent protective covering for wiring and cabling systems, especially in environments where traditional materials might fail.
This combination of properties makes nylon tubing the recommended choice for cable and wire protection in enclosed spaces, high-heat areas, and environments with fire hazards.
Applications & Industries
Due to its unique properties, nylon tubing is used in a variety of applications that require durability. Examples include:
- Automotive: Fuel, vapor, and coolant systems for internal combustion and hybrid platforms
- E-Mobility: Battery cooling and thermal management lines
- Industrial & Off-Highway: Fluid transfer and pneumatic systems
- Recreational & Marine: Chemical-resistant tubing for compact engine systems
