Anti-Spark Tubing

SHPI understands its clients needs

What Is Flame Retardant Tubing?

Flame retardant tubing is pneumatic tubing used in industrial compressed air systems. The material is designed to reduce flame spread when exposed to sparks or heat sources.
In industrial environments such as welding, metal processing, or areas where sparks may occur, flame retardant tubing is used as a protective configuration in compressed air piping to reduce the risk of heat exposure or ignition.
In SHPI product naming, this type of tubing is referred to as Anti-Spark Tubing.

Material Characteristics of Flame Retardant Tubing

The materials used in flame retardant tubing provide flame retardant characteristics. While maintaining the basic flexibility and handling characteristics required for pneumatic tubing, they help reduce flame spread when exposed to sparks.

Typical Applications of Flame Retardant Tubing

Welding areas in automotive manufacturing lines
Areas surrounding metal processing and welding equipment
Pneumatic piping located near high-temperature operating areas in automated equipment
Industrial compressed air systems where spark exposure may occur
