NyloSLIX® Nylon Polymer Medical Tubing
NyloSLIX® is a nylon polymer grade material with enhanced beneficial qualities, including temperature resistance and elastic memory. This premium thermoplastic polymer also bonds with Pebax® and PebaSLIX® materials to produce extruded medical tubing products that are highly versatile for various applications.
NyloSLIX® offers the same homogenously dispersed properties on the ID and OD, providing multiple durometer shafts. As an added advantage, the SLIX formula can also be implemented into other forms of nylon and is helpful as a catheter shaft material where the friction on the ID is at an acceptable HDPE level.
