General Description

Copely Developments Eurolon Superflex is extruded from Polyamide Type 12 to precise tolerances. Eurolon Superflex has been specially developed to meet demands for a nylon tube which gives superior flexibility over existing materials.

Eurolon Superflex has been developed in conjunction with the laboratories of Emser-Werke AG, Switzerland after very stringent tests. It will remain flexible even when exposed to very low temperatures and has extremely high impact resistance. The combination of these qualities with the advantages of superior abrasion resistance allied with high durability to oil and petrol, provides many interesting applications, these include: instrumentation lines, fuel and oil pipes, flexible paint and solvent spray hose.

This particular type of Polyamide is the most flexible available today and our technical department is able to offer advice regarding applications.

Eurolon Superflex range is in addition to our standard range of nylon tubing.
