Santoprene Thermoplastic Rubber Tubing
By Michael Woolf

When rebuilding the Decap/Mortier 92-key organ a few years back,
Jim Harper and I used Santoprene tubing and found it ideal for
the purpose.  Easy to use, too.  I think it is available from many
suppliers who make it to order using Santoprene material which is
supplied to them in bead form.  The mix is then extruded to the end
user's specifications.  Our installation seems completely inert and
is exactly the same today as when it was first installed.

 [ It exhibits outstanding environmental resistance, even in areas
 [ where ozone concentration is unusually high, and is used especially
 [ in the auto and electronics markets.  It is also used in molded
 [ medical components such as feeding and drainage tubes, syringe
 [ plunger tips, valves, seals, and connectors.
