Industry: Industrial

Press Release Summary: NewAge Industries manufactures and stocks its flexible
polyurethane tubing, Superthane(R), in both ether and ester formulations. The tubing
is designed to withstand wear, abrasion, chemicals, and moisture in a variety of gas
and fluid applications. It combines some of the best-known properties of rubber
tubing-flexibility, tensile strength, and low compression set-with the durability of
plastic. Superthane handles pressure and vacuum applications better than
corresponding sizes of rubber tubing.

Press Release Body: Now available from tubing manufacturer NewAge(R) Industries is
polyurethane tubing that combines the best properties of plastic and rubber. Called
Superthan(R), it withstands wear, abrasion, weathering, chemicals, fuels, and
moisture while it remains flexible. Superthane may be used for a wide variety of gas
and fluid transfer uses.

NewAge Industries' polyurethane tubing is a durable product designed to withstand
the rigors of applications involving pneumatics, petroleum-based* chemicals and
liquids, granular material and slurry transfer, and protective jacketing, as well as
clean fluids and gases. Superthane offers abrasion and tear resistance, high tensile
strength, and low compression set. It also handles pressure and vacuum applications
better than corresponding sizes of PVC or rubber. The tubing exhibits good chemical
resistance and excellent weathering characteristics, setting it apart from many
other plastics. Superthane is naturally flexible and needs no plasticizers, which
can leach out and cause tube hardening and flow contamination.

Two formulations-ether and ester-are manufactured by NewAge to offer customers a
choice. Both styles contain non-toxic ingredients that conform to FDA standards.
Ether-based Superthane tubing is recommended for applications involving water, humid
conditions, and fungi. It also resists UV well, and the material is listed by the
National Sanitation Foundation (NSF 61). The ester-based version offers a slightly
higher tensile strength and operating temperature, and in most cases, costs a bit
less.

Superthane is available from stock in sizes from 1/16" through 2" I.D. A large
inventory is maintained in order to ship products the same day that they are
ordered. Of course, JIT, or Just In Time, shipments may be arranged as well.

In addition to clear Superthane, NewAge Industries stocks the tubing in nine colors
for easy multiple line identification. A braid-reinforced style, Urebrade(R), is
also stocked for higher pressure applications. Customization of Superthane includes
special colors, cut-to-length pieces, thermal tube bonding, heat-formed shapes,
larger sizes, and hose assemblies.

*Additives in today's petroleum products warrant field testing.
