Notes
NEWTEX tubing is an exceptionally resilient material that
has notable wear resistance, very low permanent set characteristics, and
excellent flexibility at low temperatures.
NEWTEX will withstand repeated sterilization with autoclaving
at 250°F for 20 minutes. It will also endure limited sterilization
with ethylene oxide or gamma radiation.
Since natural rubber NEWTEX has some sulphur trace, synthetic
NEWTEX (polyisoprene), which is made without sulphur, can be supplied through
minimum order. Synthetic NEWTEX can also be cured in straight lengths
call for details. Synthetic NEWTEX should also be considered for its translucency,
as natural latexs amber color is quite dark.
Also available through special order is vacuum-rated,
red-colored NEWTEX call for details. |
