Metric Polyurethane Tubing
Click image to enlarge
Metric PU tubing is comprised of two types of materials, isocyanate and polyol. These materials make up the structure of the two general classes of polyurethane tubing, ether-base and ester-base. Fre-Thane® metric polyurethane tubing is specifically manufactured from ether-based poly material, providing advanced resistance to abrasion while being highly flexible and kink resistant. Due to its advanced memory quality, Fre-Thane® will stretch and flex but always return to its original shape.

Literature and Additional Information
Ether-Based Metric Polyurethane Tubing Specifications since ether-based PU tubing does not degrade when exposed to moisture, it is the only manufacturing base material that we utilize for our metric pneumatic polyurethane tubing products. The manufacturing of our ether-based metric poly tubing is based on the following specifications:
Temperature Range: -40° F to 165° F
Vacuum Rating; To 28” Hg
Tube Marking: None
Working Pressure: 3:1 Safety Factor
UV Stabilized: Yes
Resin Compliance: NSF61, UL94HB
Suggested Fittings: Barb, Push-In, FX
Metric PU Tubing Features
Freelin-Wade's Fre-Thane® 95A tubing provides enhanced abrasion resistance, tough durability, advanced flexibility and kink resistance. Metric Fre-Thane® tubing allows the user to tug it, pull it, yank it, or twist it – no matter what, it will always return to its intended shape. Some of the features of 95A tubing include:- Easily stands up to higher pressures
- Exceptional rub resistance
- Superb kink-resistant…if kinked, will return to its original shape and performance
- Highly flexible
- Abuse-proof
Metric Polyurethane Tubing Applications
Metric Fre-Thane® 95A PU tubing is the hardest of the Shore® A class polyurethanes. It is a highly durable tear and compression resistant tubing product. This type of polyurethane is commonly used in other abusive applications including:- Pneumatics
- Cutter bars
- Bushings
- Die cutting pads
- Idler rollers
- Oil pipeline parts
- Hydraulic seals
- Gaskets
