Lightweight Polyethylene Tubing Now Stocked in Two Styles

Both Multi-Purpose and Specialty Needs Addressed

Southampton, PA - Now available from NewAge Industries are two types of polyethylene
tubing: linear low density formula and a style co-extruded with EVA (Ethylene Vinyl
Acetate). While both are made from non-toxic ingredients conforming to FDA
standards, they offer different performance characteristics. Uses include air lines,
chemical and fluid transfer, food and beverage processing and distribution,
pharmaceutical processing, pneumatics and instrumentation, potable water, deionized
water, wire jacketing, laboratory applications, and decorative coverings.

Linear low density polyethylene tubing is a lightweight, flexible product suitable
for a variety of uses due to its relatively low cost. It offers no transfer of odor
or taste to critical streams, good dielectric properties, and is chemically inert,
forming a good barrier to gases, vapors, and moisture. The linear low density
formula provides enhanced resistance to stress cracking (over that of low density).
It's durable and stays flexible at temperatures well below 0°F.

The co-extruded version - polyethylene-lined EVA - performs much like linear low
density polyethylene tubing and offers additional features. Its ingredients conform
to USP Class VI standards, and it provides greater flexibility over linear low
density because of the bonded EVA outer layer. Polyethylene-lined EVA may be
substituted for PTFE fluoropolymer tubing in applications involving working
temperatures below 100°F, which can result in a cost savings of 50% or more.

Linear low density polyethylene tubing is stocked in translucent natural color in a
dozen sizes ranging from .170" to 1-1/2" I.D. Select sizes are also stocked in
colors (black, red, blue, green, and yellow). Polyethylene-lined EVA, stocked in
nine sizes from 1/8" to 1" I.D., is available in translucent natural.
Push-to-connect fittings are an excellent match for both polyethylene tubing styles
and are also stocked by NewAge Industries. The fittings, called Newloc(R), are
available in plastic or brass.
