Latex Tubing
Kent Elastomer Products, Inc. (KEP) is the largest manufacturer of natural rubber latex tubing. Applications include medical, dental, exercise, therapy, and food/beverage just to name a few. Our latex tubing is extensively leached, washed and surface treated to virtually undetectable protein levels (99.9% protein-free). Where latex products are not recommended or are prohibited, KEP offers a complete line of non-latex tubing manufactured from Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE) which closely simulates natural rubber latex properties.
