Subject to minimum order quantity, Colex can manufacture their flexible hoses and tubing in non-standard sizes and colours, long lengths up to 500 metres on drums, cut lengths, plus printing to customer requirements. We can also offer our flexible Nylon tubing covered with PVC and our pneumatic polyurethane covered with a flame retardant cover for dynamic applications in robotic welding.

Most of our standard hose and tubing products are normally ex – stock in 30 metre coils in a wide range of sizes, colours and materials.

With on line laser calibration units, Colex produces their pneumatic tubing, Nylon, Polyurethane and Polyethylene to high tolerances, normally required where high precision push on fittings are used. In the pneumatic range we can offer our flexible Nylon tubing both in Imperial sizes and Metric sizes. We can also offer flexible Nylon tubing in twin form sheathed in jackets of either PE or PVC.

Colex continues to offer the latest materials in the Thermoplastic Elastomers range. Latest examples being various grades of Hytrel and Santoprene.  These materials are gradually taking over from applications where rubber tubes and hoses have been traditionally used.  Colex extrudes TPE to meet customer’s requirements in a number of products used in chemical applications, peristaltic pump, chemical dosing applications and other critical hose and tube functions. Colex TPE Tubing and hoses can be co-extruded to use the best properties of these materials, limit cost implications and as important offer solutions to customer problems.

Polyurethane sleeving, sizes and colours made to order, used in applications such as robot dress packs, cable looms and hose bundles.

HYTREL TPE

Colex can manufacture Hytrel tubing providing the combination of the flexibility of rubber and the strength of engineering plastics.

With the manufacture of Hytrel TPE’s Colex custom products provide the combined capability of high heat resistance and good low temperature performance, along with the chemical compatibilities in many chemicals, oils and solvents.

Colex co extruded Hytrel products cover a wide variety of applications in many industries, such as the food industry, beauty products, drinks dispensing plus many more. 

SANTOPRENE TPE

Colex can offer Santoprene TPE tubing for peristaltic pumps, automotive, beverage, medical, business machines and many more applications.

Santoprene TPE As well as offering good flex fatigue resistance it also offers exceptional resistance to a broad range of agricultural chemicals.

Santoprene TPE is also an excellent alternative to Nitrile rubbers, CSM and EPDM compounds.

Colex can offer co extrusions such as PE lined Santoprene hoses for chemical dosing applications.
