About Plastic and Rubber Tubing

Semi-Clear Tubing

Opaque Tubing

This tubing offers superior impact and crack resistance—even at low temperatures. Made of FDA listed materials, it is suitable for use with food and beverage. It is made without plasticizers like DEHP, so it won’t impart tastes or odors to the fluid passing through it. Tubing is semi-flexible, so it is good for gradual bends.

Polyethylene tubing can withstand lower temperatures and higher pressures than EVA tubing.

Semi-clear tubing gives you a limited view inside the line. Opaque tubing doesn’t allow you to see inside the line.

Abrasion-Resistant Firm Plastic and Rubber Tubing for Food and Beverage

Tough and durable, this tubing resists abrasion and tearing. It's also suitable for use with food and beverage.

Polyethylene plastic tubing has a polyester braid for extra strength, so it can handle higher pressures than PVC plastic and PVC plastic/polyurethane rubber tubing. It can also withstand the lowest temperatures. Tubing is made without plasticizers like DEHP, so it won’t impart tastes or odors to the fluid passing through it.

Semi-clear tubing gives you a limited view inside the line.

Semi-flexible tubing is good for gradual bends.

Hard Plastic Tubing for Food and Beverage

Strong, hard walls give this tubing extra support in high-pressure and vacuum applications. It’s made of FDA listed materials, so it’s suitable for use with food and beverage. Free of plasticizers like DEHP, it won’t impart tastes or odors to the fluid passing through it.

Polyethylene tubing is semi-flexible and good for gradual bends, but it will crack if subjected to continual bending. Semi-clear tubing gives you a limited view inside the line. Opaque tubing doesn’t allow you to see inside the line.

Ultra-Chemical-Resistant Firm Plastic Tubing

Semi-Flexible
Compatible with Barbed Tube Fittings
Firm (Durometer 45D)
Temperature Range: -20° to 170° F

An FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) liner gives this tubing better chemical resistance than any of our other firm tubing. It also provides a smooth interior for easy cleaning and unrestricted flow. Tubing is semi-clear, so you get a limited view inside the line. It is semi-flexible, so it is good for gradual bends.
