POLYETHYLENE TUBING (PE)
PE Tubing is widely used in industrial, chemical and perhaps most commonly for the transfer of air, water and other foodstuffs.
Our PE tubing is sourced from UK and well know European & International manufacturers and is available in coils and drum quantities at most sizes. It comes in a number of variants from LDPE, PE and even an advanced PE each with their own properties.
Some examples of the types of approvals that the tubing may have are FDA, NSF, Wras, DI & Reach.
