Upchurch Scientific now extrudes tubing out of Radel R polymer. Radel R (polyphenylsulfone) is a mechanically strong and chemically resistant material, much like PEEK™. Radel R is frequently used in medical applications where repeated autoclave sterilization is performed. (Tests show product stability after 1,000 cycles).

This polymer's high heat deflection value allows it to be used in environments at least 100° C without losing mechanical strength. Radel R tubing is also translucent, allowing technicians to visually monitor flow. Readily wetted surfaces help keep air bubbles from accumulating on inner surfaces.

OD/ID tolerances for 1/16" OD are ±.001".
