Go to http://www.wirexcontrols.com/partners_dekoron_tubing.html
It appears that Dekoron was/is? a Furon product, however Furon is now under
Saint-Gobain plastics and no mention of Dekoron is found there. Maybe
because Dekoron is a plastic/metal composite it was not taken on by
Saint-Gobain. Anyway, the link above has pressure/temperature relations for
Dekoron's Dekobon 1300 composite tubing.
Hope this helps
