MAZZER MULTILAYER TUBING
Pneumatic and Hydraulic Applications

This is an encapsulating tubing for optical fiber; the internal layer is wear-resistant and has a low coefficent of friction giving it rigid characteristics. The softer exterior layer permits connective assembly.

Advantages of Multilayer Tubing
  • Enhanced mechanical and chemical properties
  • Excellent barrier capacity
  • Lower friction coefficient
  • Higher flexibility
  • Minimum material cost
  • Better conductibility where electrostatic charges are a danger
  • Lower permeability for gas liquids and toxins
  • Average longer life
  • Flame resistance
Tubing properties to be combined can be modulated in terms of rigidity, flexibility, tenacity, resistence to heat, chemicals, pressure, vibration, flame and hydrolysis with less friction, wear, corrosion, and static.
MMS (Mazzer Multilayer System):
This manufacturing process provides a unique combination of the specific properties of each component layer in the same tube. Many combinations of polymers are possible for the multiple layers of this tubing.

Sizes:
Sizes up to one (1") inch outside diameter.

Applications of Multilayer Tubing:
(pneumatic and hydraulic applications)

  • Transportation of fluids, with somewhat aggressive aeriforms for the automotive, medical, optical fiber, floor heating, textile, and electrical sectors.
  • This non-toxic tubing is suitable for fluid food transportation.
Combinations of Material for Multilayer Tubing (and possible applications):
  • Polyamide 6 and polyamide 12 combinations. Flame resistant material with conductive material (e.g. automotive industry)
  • Polyesters with polyamides combination (e.g. automotive industry)
  • Polymer fluorides in combination with polyamides (also good for the automotive industry)
  • Polyolefin with polyamide combinations (high temperatures/hot water or fluid food transportation)
  • Fluorated polymers in combination with economic thermoplastics (aggressive chemicals)
  • Other possibilities: Create on the outer surface a thin layer of chemically compatible material with one of suitable maximum quality.
