POSTVILLE, IA - Norplex-Micarta, the leading manufacturer of high performance thermoset composites, announces the availability of Micro ID convolute tubing materials. Micro ID tubing is ideal for such high performance applications as extra-fine bearings in the electrical market and insulation and support components in the LNG market. Inside diameters for Micro ID tubing range from 0.094" - 0.187" and outside diameters range from 0.156 - 0.500". Norplex-Micarta normally delivers all Micro ID tubing products within two to three weeks of receipt of order.
Norplex-Micarta Micro ID tubes are available in lengths of 18" - 24" with paper, cotton, or glass fabric substrates.
