Most dialysis tubing is made of cellulose or cellulose acetates. Cellulose is just a polymer of glucose. Other materials, including polypropylene and polyvinylidene fluoride are also frequently used.

The chemical properties of the tubing are determined by which material is used.

Dialysis tubing is formed by extruding the bulk material into it's final form (sheet, tube, capillary, whatever). It is the mechanics of the extrusion that determine the pore size and dialysis properties of the tubing.

There is some information on the web at http://www.spectrapor.com/dialysis/dialysis_theory.htmland http://www.membrane-mfpi.com/labdialy.html. There is also usually several pages in the Spectrum Laboratory catalog. You can email your mailing address to Spectrum at glizaso@spectrumlabs.com and request a laboratory products catalog.
