Main properties

Product

Flexible tubing

The inner diameter remains almost unchanged even when tube is bent, excellent in flexible piping, and the tube can be expanded and contracted. It can be used to the inside of equipment in small spaces. It is also used as a piping material for fluid transfer in various fields.

Heat shrink tubing

Tubing that shrinks when heated, used for coating parts, etc. It can provide heat resistance, insulation, non-adhesiveness, and slipperiness to the covering objects.
Various shrink ratios and sizes are available for a variety of applications.

Finetube

Super slim tubing that is used for medical and industrial devices. It is also called straight tubing or spaghetti tubing.
