What application will you be using these flexible ducting products?

With the wide range of materials present in the market, choosing the right type of duct for your project is important.

Why?
Because choosing the wrong material for your ducting project can only cause malfunction, or even worse it can even damage your whole system, which can be very expensive.

So, it is important to know if the flexible ducting product you are buying is applicable to its purpose.

How do you know what material to consider?

There are many types of flexible ducting products you can choose from. This includes:

• High-temperature silicone
• Polyurethane (PU)
• PVC
• Rubber
• Thermal plastic

A knowledgeable flexible ducting supplier will know the different capabilities and limitations of their products.

For example, a polyurethane duct is usually used for kitchen cabinet manufacturing because of its ability to bear abrasion. While a High-temperature silicone is perfect for heat transfer etc. Therefore, it is important to ask for their recommendations. Otherwise, you may end up choosing the wrong one.
