Press Release Body = Southampton, PA - Now available from tubing manufacturer
NewAge(R) Industries is a product made from 100% pure Viton, a high performance
synthetic rubber. Called Vitube(R), the tubing offers a wide range of both
temperature and chemical resistance and is available in 60 and 75 Shore A
durometers. Vitube is used in applications such as appliances, chemical transfer,
hot lubrication feeds, o-rings and seals, fuel and oil lines, cable jacketing,
exhaust lines, solvent transfer, and peristaltic pumps.

Vitube's main attribute is its resistance to a wide range of chemicals at elevated
temperatures. It will withstand -30°F to 400°F continuously and higher temperatures
on an intermittent basis. Vitube is manufactured to handle chemicals such as
aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons (carbon tetrachloride, benzene, toluene, and
xylene), oils, fuels, lubricants, and mineral acids. Black in color, it works well
outdoors in sunlight and ozone.

Vitube possesses the high resiliency of an elastomer as well as the good mechanical
properties of conventional synthetic rubbers. The heat and chemical resistance
factors, however, go far beyond the range of other rubbers. In fact, it offers one
of the widest ranges of fluid and chemical resistance of any commercial rubber. Of
the two hardnesses stocked, 60A, also known as Type B, is softer and designed for
peristaltic pump use, while 75A (Type A) is used for most other applications.

NewAge Industries stocks Vitube in two dozen sizes from 1/32" through 7/8" I.D.
Customization includes cut-to-length pieces, non-stock sizes, protective
overbraiding, and other hardnesses. Barb style fittings, which are well-suited to
Vitube, and a variety of clamps are also stocked for same-day shipment or JIT
delivery.
