GlideTex™: Next Level Tubing
Ultra smooth surface finish for critical applications
Looking to take your tube to the next level? When surface finish is critical, our proprietary extrusion technique developed for GlideTex™ tubing provides a luxurious, silky feel with a matte, reduced friction finish. This is ideal for applications requiring superior tube body smoothness and mitigation of drag and tack. Available in a variety of material offerings, GlideTex™ can be a cost-effective solution when compared to centerless grinding or reflow options, and because it is a continuous extrusion process, lead times are also often reduced.

Some limitations of other options:

Standard Extrusions
• Glossy appearance
• Reinforcement is visible
• Reinforcement is tangible

Centerless Grinding
• Limited material offerings
• Requires post processing
• Can be more expensive

Reflow
• Produced in discrete lengths
• Requires post processing
• Can be expensive and is labor intensive
