About this product

Exhibiting the physical properties inherent in SWM’s polyurethane film and sheet, including strength, durability, and chemical resistance its range of Coretec™ Urethane Tube (formerly known as ArgoTube) is also kink resistant with strong grip-ability. Coretec tubing is extremely tough and tear resistant, with tensile strengths more than twice that of vinyls. SWM can extrude numerous diameters, wall thicknesses, color options and custom formulations to satisfy even the most difficult tubing design challenges. Two or more tubes can even be bonded into a single, multi-tube unit to facilitate coding and tracking of fluids between components.
