Medical Tubing TPU | Kink-Resistant, Transparent, Sterilization-Grade
Medical Tubing TPU Resin
High-clarity, kink-resistant medical-grade TPU designed for precision extrusion of infusion tubes, oxygen tubing, peristaltic pump lines, and general-purpose medical hoses. Compatible with EtO, Gamma, and E-beam sterilization.
High Clarity
Kink-Resistant
Sterilization-Compatible
Shore 75A–95A
Where This TPU Is Used
- Infusion tubing – high transparency and stable flow control
- Oxygen & respiratory tubing – soft, flexible, kink-resistant
- Peristaltic pump tubing – compression and fatigue resistance
- Dental & suction tubes – smooth surface, sterilizable
- Light-duty bioprocess and transfer lines
Key Advantages
- Excellent kink resistance – tubing maintains lumen even under tight bending
- High optical clarity – suitable for visual flow monitoring
- Sterilization compatible – EtO, Gamma, and E-beam options
- Balanced flexibility & strength – tensile and tear performance for safe handling
- Low extractables – controlled formulation for medical environments
- Stable extrusion – smooth surface and tight dimensional tolerance

Processing Guidelines
- Process: Precision medical tubing extrusion
- Melt temperature: 165–185 °C depending on hardness and line speed
- Die temperature: typically 165–175 °C
- Drying: 70–80 °C for 2–3 hours before extrusion
- Cooling: Clean water bath with controlled puller speed to hold dimensions
