Hose and Tubing

Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are finding a growing range of applications in hose and tubing. In medical segments, TPEs fill the void caused by concern over latex and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). In specialty fluid handling, tailorable TPEs help provide long-life delivery of an ever-wider spectrum of oils and chemicals.
