PVC Tubing
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tubing is a clear, flexible material that offers resistance to many chemicals. The quality resins that make up PVC tubing are non-toxic with a smooth interior and exterior that prevents sediment accumulation. The durable, cost-effective, and adaptable composition of polyvinyl chloride tubing makes it an ideal choice for many pneumatic applications that require top chemical resistance. However, PVC tubing is not recommended for use in applications or pressures that exceed the recommended rating.

What is PVC Tubing?
PVC tubing is a versatile, cost-effective thermoplastic tube option used primarily for transporting liquids and gases. The polyvinyl chloride material offers adaptability and chemical resistance, second only to polyethylene and polypropylene in production. The clear tubing gives PVC tubing flexibility and clarity for easy flow visibility. Made from ethylene and chlorine, the polyvinyl chloride tubing is non-toxic and free from latex proteins, providing a safer tubing option. Overall, PVC tubing is ideal for many pneumatic applications.PVC Tubing Performance Characteristics and Material Limitations
The polyvinyl chloride makeup of PVC tubing offers top chemical resistance and flexibility for many practical applications, such as fluids, cleaning agents, drainage, and other chemical transfers. With the clear tubing options, flow can be monitored with transfer, and contamination is easily identified. The PVC pneumatic tubing, however, has limitations with temperature and pressure. Applications with high heat or pressure should not utilize PVC tubing as the material would not withstand exposure to such environments.Industrial and Commercial Applications for PVC Pneumatic Tubing
The lightweight, durable, cost-effective, and chemical-resistant design of PVC pneumatic tubing provides an ideal choice for many industries and indoor applications with controlled environments. The flexible design offers top use in fluid or gas transfer in numerous pneumatic systems. Common applications of PVC tubing include:- Drainage, sewage, and irrigation in plumbing
- Medical catheters or tubing for fluids
- Food-grade tubing for drinks, oils, and fat-containing products
- Industrial air and gas lines, chemical transfer, and material handling
- Windows, flooring, and electrical conduit in construction
