AS the high cost performance, corrugated tube can be seen everywhere in various industries of industrial production and in our life. 

It can be used for the sheathing of wire harnesses of automobiles, motorcycles and other motor vehicles, as well as the sheathing of wire harnesses of household appliances, precision machine tools and other equipment. Although the application of corrugated tube is very extensive, many people have little understanding of its material and function. Let us take a good look at the magic corrugated tube today.

             Corrugated tubes are generally extruded from three raw materials: PP, PE and PA.  As an excellent wire harness corrugated tube, Corrugated tubes have both rigidity and flexibility, and have sufficient mechanical properties and excellent flexibility. Light weight, material saving, energy consumption reduction, low price, strong chemical corrosion resistance, can withstand the influence of acid and alkali in the surrounding  environment. Corrugated shape can enhance the load resistance of the pipeline to the surrounding environment. Wide operating temperature range, flame retardant, self-contained Extinguishing, safe use, good electrical insulation performanc.  These properties make corrugated tubing as an ideal material for cable protective sleeve.

What is the difference between the corrugated tube made of these three materials?

          The raw material of PE corrugated pipe is polyethylene, which is not flame retardant. The corrugated tube of this material is relatively soft and can be flattened by hand, but its price is cheap. If there is no special requirement for the use environment, it is a good choice.

         PP corrugated tube is made of polypropylene, which can be made flame retardant and not flame retardant. Much harder than PE tubes, but softer than PA tubes. It is not easy to deform and can well protect the wire harness from external wear. Compared with PA tubes, the price has a great advantage, so it is the best choice of many users.

          Compared with PE & PP corrugated tubes, PA corrugated tube is not competitive in price. It is made of polyamide, commonly known as nylon. 

It can withstand the heavy pressure of the foot without breaking or deforming, and can recover quickly without any damage. In addition to the two basic specifications of flame retardant and non-flame retardant, our PA corrugated tubes also have the characteristics of anti-ultraviolet, low smoke and halogen free. It can be widely used in harsh environments and protect the environment from pollution. From this point of view, it is only natural that the price of PA corrugated tube is higher.
