Antistatic PU Tubing
Custom antistatic (static-dissipative) PU tubing for air and fluid lines near electronics. Resistance range, size and compound are agreed per project and confirmed on samples.
Review specifications ↓PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Product overview
Antistatic PU tubing is made to order as a static-dissipative polyurethane compound for air and fluid lines that run near electronics. We review the application with you, agree the target resistance range and the test method, and confirm the result on samples before production, so this page has no fixed model table.
How the tubing is made and checked
Tubing is produced on extrusion and coiling lines and checked with dimensional, pressure-hold, burst-pressure and tensile equipment listed in the company inventory. Product requirements are reviewed against the drawing and order.

Selection notes and conditions
The ESD Association separates materials by resistance (Fundamentals of Electrostatic Discharge, Part One):
| Class | Surface or volume resistance |
|---|---|
| Conductive | less than 1 × 104 ohms |
| Static dissipative | 1 × 104 ohms or more, but less than 1 × 1011 ohms |
| Insulative | 1 × 1011 ohms or more |
“Antistatic” on its own is not a resistance range. State the resistance value, its unit and the test method in your specification. ANSI/ESD STM11.11 is the ESD Association method for the surface resistance of static dissipative planar materials (standard page); a round tube is not a planar sample, so agree the method and sample preparation with the supplier before ordering. A published data sheet such as this Freelin-Wade sheet lists surface resistivity, volume resistivity, the standard behind the values, temperature range and diameter tolerance; ask for the same items from any supplier you compare.
Many electronic components are susceptible to ESD damage at less than 100 volts. Static dissipative material lets charge transfer to ground or to other conductive objects, so a dissipative tube works as part of a path to ground. Plan how the tube, its fittings and the rest of the line are connected.
RoHS test. An independent SGS report (No. SHAPH24011336701, 5 June 2024) on a polyether antistatic tube sample, 1/2 inch, found lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, PBDE and the phthalates DEHP, BBP, DBP and DIBP not detected, and states compliance with the EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU as amended by (EU) 2015/863. The result applies to the tested sample. It is a chemical test and does not measure antistatic performance. View the SGS report (PDF).
For a quotation, send: OD × ID (or wall), length and tolerance; the target resistance range, its unit and the test standard you use; where the tube runs, the ambient humidity range and how it will be grounded; pressure, temperature, fittings and color; quantity, marking and packaging. The quotation checklist lists the rest.

QUESTIONS
Product FAQ
What is the difference between antistatic, static-dissipative and conductive tubing?
The ESD Association separates them by resistance: conductive below 1 × 10^4 ohms, static dissipative from 1 × 10^4 up to 1 × 10^11 ohms, and insulative above that. "Antistatic" is a general word, so state the resistance range and test method in your specification.
What resistance range do you offer for antistatic PU tubing?
It is a custom compound, so the target range is agreed for the project and confirmed on samples. Send the range and the test method you require with your quotation request.
Does the SGS RoHS report prove antistatic performance?
No. It is a chemical test for restricted substances on one polyether antistatic sample. Antistatic performance needs a resistance measurement by an agreed method.
Does static-dissipative tubing need to be grounded?
A dissipative material lets charge transfer to ground or to other conductive objects, so charge can only be carried away if there is a path. Plan the connection through the fittings and the rest of the line.
Which PU is used for antistatic tubing?
Our SGS-tested sample is a polyether antistatic tube. The compound for your project is agreed during technical review against the medium, humidity and temperature of the application.
