Standard Nylon 6/6 Tubing

Standard Nylon 6/6 mechanical grade tubing is designed for low pressure mechanical application such as fluid and air transmission. It is an extremely tough, low friction, high flexibility tubing that can be used for cable protectors or in short pieces as small bushings and washers. S&L Plastics standard nylon is ideal for a wide variety of other mechanical applications where higher pressure ratings are not required. S&L Plastics tubing resists abrasion and wear and is better than aluminum or steel. It has an extremely smooth inner surface with a very low coefficient of friction. Nylon 6/6 is produced on a custom basis and is available in colors, with custom markings and cut to length.
