Tubing
Produced from virgin, low-density polyethylene resin, this chemically-inert, noncontaminating translucent tubing meets FDA standards, making it an ideal choice for laboratory, hospital, food and beverage applications. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is also well-suited for use with pneumatic controls, instrumentation and hydraulic applications, where it’s exceptional stability, long life and resistance to corrosion and environmental chemicals enhance system reliability. Available in seven brilliant colors - red, yellow, orange, green, blue, black and white - plus a natural translucent grade give system designers a wide selection of color coding for easy circuit traceability and identification.

Polypropylene is a tough, heat-resistant tubing, ideal for the transfer of hot liquids or gases. It is recommended for vacuum systems and applications where higher temperatures and pressures are encountered. It has excellent resistance to acids and alkalies., but poor resistance to aromatic, aliphatic and chlorinated solvents. Raw materials used in its manufacture meet requirements set by the FDA. The natural color of the tubing is semi-opaque white. Not recommended for use outdoors, or for exposure to UV light.
