Polyethylene Tubing
Polyethylene (PE or poly) tubing is a linear low-density tubing that maintains lightweight, flexible, and durable characteristics. The greatest advantage of Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) over any other low-density polyethylene is its superior environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR). The resistance to chemicals, moisture, and punctures makes this tubing ideal for many liquid or gas transfer applications with higher environmental stresses. All poly tube colors comply with FDA regulation 21 CFR 177.1520c for food contact applications.
Polyconn provides several options of our high-quality polyethylene tubing from our plastic tubing options.
