Nylon 11 tubing (also referred to as polyamide 11) is considered a more  earth friendly, “green” type of flexible tubing. It is manufactured using  castor oil, which is a renewable resource obtained from the seeds of the castor  plant. Nylon 11 tubing can withstand higher temperatures and pressures, making  it an ideal choice for many applications. Some of the pneumatic applications  include airline controls and airline accessories.  When compared to other  nylon tubing it allows for a lighter weight wall, greater flexibility and  smaller bend radius. It is also more corrosion resistant than other types of  nylon tubing because of its ability to absorb  less moisture. Its heat and UV stabilization makes it resistant to  stress-cracking, so it works well in sunny areas like Arizona. It is chemical resistant which  makes it a good choice in areas where exposure to certain chemicals is a  possibility.
