NyloSLIX® Nylon Polymer Medical Tubing
NyloSLIX® is a nylon polymer grade material that offers 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 a range of applications. NyloSLIX® offers the same homogenously dispersed properties on both the ID and OD, providing multiple durameter shafts. As an added advantage, the SLIX formula can also be implemented into other forms of nylon and is useful as a catheter shaft material where the friction on the ID is at an acceptable HDPE level.
