They are also less prone to kinks, and can be built with strain guards to further help reduce wear on the coils.įreelin-Wade can custom build coils to your specifications, in color-coded, bonded configurations or as single lines. Coils self-retract to stay out of the way of tires and out of pools of water and chemicals on the wash bay floor. Recoil tubing, either nylon or polyurethane, is a great way to help make the wash bay experience better for your customers and reduce wear and tear on your tube lines. Why Use Retractable Coiled Car Wash Tubing in your Wash Bays? Nylon tubing will help increase the functional life of your tubing, reducing your upkeep costs. Lastly, nylon tubing has higher working pressures than LLDPE tubing. Nylon also has a wider temperature range, both hot and cold, for better stability and serviceability in extreme outdoor environments. We use a UV stabilized resin to help extend the life of the tube even when exposed to direct sunlight. It also offers higher corrosion resistance than other types of nylon tubing, thanks to its resistance to moisture absorption.įreelin-Wade flexible nylon tubing offers several advantages over LLDPE. Freelin-Wade’s nylon resins allow for a lighter-weight wall, greater flexibility, and a smaller bend radius. This material is known for its outstanding chemical, abrasion, impact, and moisture resistance and dimensional stability. Nylon tubing is a unique kind of tubing made from polyamide resin. Switching to LLDPE will help reduce wash downtime and maintenance.Ĭomparing Nylon Tubing and LLDPE Tubing for Car Washes Environmental stresses that can affect the longevity of LDPE tubing include chemical exposure, aging, connection to barb-type fittings, and high-vibration connections with compression fittings.įreelin-Wade only offers LLDPE tubing in our polyethylene line, providing a superior solution at a competitive price.
THE TUBE CAR WASH CRACK
The greatest advantage of LLDPE over LDPE is its superior environmental crack resistance, or ESCR. This form of polyethylene tubing provides much more flexibility, tensile strength, and more conformability than traditional LDPE. What we can do is try to apply what we know about our tubing to help you get the right fit for your wash.Ĭar Wash Linear Low-Density Polyethylene Tubing vs LDPE Tubing Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) is a blended form of Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE).
But there are some constants on which we can rely – direct sun degrades polyethylene more quickly than nylon, SpotFree™ doesn’t do well with polyethylene and barbed fittings with nylon tubing is a recipe for leaks. It can be tricky to find the right material for the chemicals you use – not all cleaning agents interact with tubing the same.
