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.
