LOW DENSITY POLYETHYLENE TUBING REINTRODUCED AND AVAILABLE FROM STOCK

Southampton, PA — We would like to announce the reintroduction of ZELITE(TM) Low Density Polyethylene tubing to our stock product offering. It joins the Linear Low Density version of ZELITE, giving customers a broader selection from which to choose. ZELITE Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) tubing is used for air and pneumatic lines, fluid feeds, chemical transfer, wire jacketing, food and beverage processing, potable water systems, drains, pool and spa supply lines, and more. We previously offered only the low density style of ZELITE, then switched to linear low density a few years ago due to its enhanced resistance to stress cracking. Although both types provide for repeated flexing with little or no signs or wear, only LDPE tubing is listed by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF 51), an important consideration in many cases. Through customer feedback, we determined that both versions needed to be available to best meet customers' requirements. ZELITE LDPE exhibits a high degree of inertness and forms a good barrier to gases, vapors, and moisture. It provides good dielectric properties and will not impart any taste or odor to fluids running through it. ZELITE LDPE is manufactured from non-toxic, 100% virgin grade resins with ingredients that conform to FDA standards. Durable ZELITE LDPE is a lightweight tubing and is one of the lower cost plastic materials. We stock the tubing in 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", and 1/2" O.D. sizes in translucent natural color and in 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" O.D.'s in opaque black. ZELITE is considered a flexible yet semi-rigid product and therefore mates well with push-to-connect fittings available in acetal or brass. Custom colors, sizes, and shapes are offered as well.
