Material for a thin flexible tube
Material for a thin flexible tube
(OP)
Can anyone suggest the best material ( or composite ) for a thin-walled tube? The tube must be non-rigid i.e. very flexible/springy, wall thickness less than 0.3mm, melting point above 150 deg C. Not easily torn. Item would be similar to a catheter tube, only much thinner.Many thanks.

At 0.3mm wall, even nylon might be flexable enough

try FEP, PUR, pebax yes - that is good idea - we used 3layer pebax - outer layer PEBAX 7233 SA 01, inner layer material HDPE quantum LM6007-00
