EK-Tube ZMT soft tube for liquid cooling

EK-Tube ZMT soft tube for liquid cooling

EK is expanding its soft tubing portfolio with a release of two new EK-Tube ZMT tubing. ZMT stands for Zero Maintenance Tubing and EK-Tube ZMT is a high quality, industrial grade EPDM rubber tubing in stylish matte black.

This tubing is - just like Norprene - designed to withstand harsh conditions for a very long period of time, offering a truly exceptional lifespan even under UV, ozone and heat exposure for many years. EK-Tube ZMT has no evaporation rate, which means that no liquid can evaporate through the tube walls.

Unlike most PVC and PUR tubing this high quality EK made EPDM rubber tubing ensures long lasting operation and does not suffer from a plasticizer leaching effect which can cause blockage (gunking) in your liquid cooling loop. This tubing also allows for very small bend radius! It is guaranteed to be hassle-free even in the long run, which is something other PVC/PUR tubing cannot offer! EK recommends EK-ACF Fitting series compression fittings for the use with this tube.

EK offers three different dimensions and provides OD (outer diameter) and ID (inner diameter) with every model. For every dimension, EK offers retail version with 3 meters of tube, but customers can also buy any length as "per meter" option is available as well.

Since I can't find anything on their website, do we know if they will provide more color options besides matte black?

theyve had tubing in the works for a while now right? i like that it doesnt have plasticizers, thats really good...but unless its wayyy cheaper, i dont see a reason to get it vs tygons regular soft plasticizer free tubing.

i know im kind of picking this apart, but i take issue with their "no evaporation" thing. no soft tubing is free of this effect, although better quality tubing minimizes it. not even norprene is 100% water impermeable, although its close
