Tubing

High-Density Polyethylene is less flexible than low-density polyethylene, but has better physical and chemical properties, and withstands sterilization by boiling. Raw materials used in its manufacture meet requirements set by the FDA. The standard color is semi-opaque bright white, with black available on special order. Black is recommended for applications requiring durability in direct sunlight or outdoor exposure.

Temperature range: -100° to 150°F

Priced by the coil and sold only in full coils.

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.

FEP is a fluoropolymer with excellent physical and chemical properties. It can withstand low cryogenic temperatures, and has low porosity and low permeation. Chemically inert at extreme temperatures, FEP can operate in temperatures ranging from -450°F to +400°F. FEP’s transparency and weatherability make it ideal for use in sight gauges, especially when used with harsh chemicals.
