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.
PVC tubing has harder walls than polyethylene tubing and can handle higher pressures. It meets NSF/ANSI Standard 51 for food contact. Tubing is rigid and will not bend. It is clear, so you can easily monitor flow.

Abrasion-Resistant Sleeving
Tightly braided fibers give this sleeving excellent abrasion resistance. As it wears, the fibers frizz and make the outer wall thicker for improved protection. The interior is smooth to reduce snags during installation. It meets Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) standards for fire protection in mines. Because this sleeving is non-expandable, it does not stretch, so it’s best for applications where you know the exact diameter of the items you need to protect.
Nylon sleeving is thicker than polyester sleeving, so it withstands contact with rougher surfaces. However, it can’t handle temperatures as high.
High-Strength Sleeving
This sleeving has excellent tear resistance and better abrasion resistance than standard polyester sleeving. Made of Nomex fabric, it resists most acids and alkalies, alcohol, hydraulic fluid, oil, gasoline, salt water, and solvents. It won’t irritate skin like fiberglass, so it’s easier to handle. Because this sleeving is non-expandable, it does not stretch, so it’s best for applications where you know the exact diameter of the items you need to protect.
