Our range of un-reinforced rubber tubing is vast, covering a range of polymers which includes Silicone, Neoprene, Viton®, EPDM, Nitrile and Natural.
Rubber tubing is used for a host of applications from simple transfer of water, to fuel pipes in engines and even for Bunsen burners in laboratories and schools.
The following lists show our large range of standard rubber tubing: however you can also choose from our bespoke service covering a wider range of polymers, sizes and order volumes.
Our processes allow us to extrude tubes from 0.5mm diameter, all the way up to 100mm, plus they can be supplied in either straight lengths or coils, dependent on the size.
We also offer a cutting service where tubing can be cut to shorter lengths either by hand, lathe, or automatic guillotine.
Our range of Peroxide cured silicone tubing is also available in a wide variety of colours.
Although this is our standard range of rubber tubing, we are able to offer alternative grades and sizes for customer specific applications. Please see our compounds page for a list of available polymers, but please note, some may not be suitable for extruding. Simply give us a call on 01625 573971 or fill in the form below and one of our technical team will advise accordingly.

Industrial Rubber Tubing - 70° Sh. A EPDM, Nitrile, Viton®
EPDM rubber tubing is suitable for a wide range of applications where resistance to ozone and UV are a requirement. It is resistant to many chemicals and solvents particularly water, phosphate ethers, ketones and alcohols together with various acids and alkalis. EPDM’s have good resistance to many corrosive chemicals, most inorganic chemical products, mineral acids, detergents, and glycol.
Nitrile is used with some oils and has good resistance to inorganic chemical products except antioxidant agents and chlorine. With the increase in biofuel elements in petrol and diesel nowadays, it is no longer suitable for use in applications involving contact, due to increased swelling.
Viton® is used almost exclusively where resistance to very high temperature is required and where resistance to petroleum and chlorinated solvents is necessary. It has excellent performance with acids and is suitable, dependent on grade, for a temperature range of -20° – +250° C continuous.

BS2775:1987 Tubing - Red Natural and black Neoprene
Natural rubber tubing offers high tensile strength, good abrasion resistance and excellent low temperature operating range down to -50°C.
Neoprene, or Chloroprene, which was the first synthetic polymer to be developed in the 1930’s offers a good combination of ozone resistance, medium resistance to oils and is good with water and alkalis.
There is still a demand for imperial sizes, so we can offer these grades in both imperial and metric.
