A resin tube with excellent flexibility and pressure resistance.
Among industrial equipment, automation and labor-saving devices, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and scientific instruments require stringent quality standards to avoid machine troubles. In these applications, the tubing used for gases and liquids such as air and water also demands high performance. Additionally, challenges related to the cost of the tubing, durability, flexibility, and compatibility with piping ports and tube fittings are always present. UP tubing, made primarily from polypropylene (PP), features high pressure resistance, excellent flexibility, and cost performance, making it suitable for piping gases and liquids like 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 compared to other plastics, and it excels in the 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 a minimum bending radius of 9.0mm (for the 4 x 2.5 type) and a pressure resistance performance of up to 0.8MPa. This makes it an ideal resin tube for replacing nylon tubes that are not used under high pressure, as well as for sites using Ushio Lighting's plastic fittings "Z Union," contributing to the stable operation of equipment, devices, and systems. Furthermore, 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
