What is Polyethylene Tubing?
Polyethylene (PE) tubing is a type of thermoplastic tubing made from the polymer polyethylene. It is a versatile and widely used material for fluid and gas transport due to its affordability, flexibility, chemical resistance, and ease of processing. Polyethylene tubing is found in a range of industries and applications.
There are different types of polyethylene tubing, including Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) and High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE). LDPE tubing is more flexible and offers greater resilience, while HDPE tubing is stiffer and has better chemical and temperature resistance.
