Buy Nylon Tubing: Manufacturers & Engineered Solutions

Extruded nylon tubing (typically PA6, PA11, or PA12) is continuously processed through a die and calibrator, resulting in flexible, thin-to-medium wall conduits ideal for high-pressure fluid carriage, air lines, and pneumatic circuitry. Monomer Cast (MC) Nylon tube is produced by gravity casting liquid caprolactam into rotating cylindrical molds. MC nylon produces heavy-wall, large-diameter structural hollow bars characterized by higher molecular weight, superior crystallinity, higher compressive yield strength, and exceptional wear resistance, specifically designed for secondary CNC turning into bushings, rollers, and mechanical spacers.

Polyamides naturally absorb ambient moisture via hydrogen bonding in their amide groups. Standard PA6 tubing will absorb up to 2.5-3.0% moisture at equilibrium (50% RH, 23°C), resulting in a linear dimensional swelling of approximately 0.2% to 0.3% and a shift toward higher impact toughness with slightly lower tensile modulus. In precision fluid-fitting or close-tolerance bushing applications, our engineers recommend pre-conditioned parts, long-chain polyamides (PA11/PA12) with minimal water absorption (<0.5%), or our dimensionally invariant Polyoxymethylene (POM) hollow bars.

Each factory consignment is accompanied by a comprehensive technical quality pack: EN 10204 Type 3.1 Mill Test Certification verifying raw polymer lot numbers, Shore D hardness test reports, hydro-pneumatic burst threshold verification logs, full dimensional inspection records, and Certificate of Origin (CO). Full RoHS, REACH, and FDA conformity declarations are furnished according to target industry specifications.

Yes. Beyond standard blue, black, natural, and yellow color-coding for air/fluid lines, our facility provides compounding with glass-fiber reinforcement for enhanced stiffness, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) for self-lubricating wear properties, and custom precision-cut lengths. We also maintain in-house 5-axis CNC turning and milling machinery to supply finished bushings and precision rings based directly on customer CAD/DXF/STEP drawings.

Standard profile sizes and off-the-shelf MC nylon hollow bars have no minimum order quantities for catalog stock items. Custom-extruded profiles or non-standard color batches typically require a minimum setup threshold (typically 500 to 1,000 meters depending on outer diameter). Tooling fabrication for custom extrusion shapes is typically completed in 10-14 days, followed by full volume production within 15-20 days.
