LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) hose, also known as LDPE tubing or LDPE pipe, is a type of flexible tubing made from low-density polyethylene resin. It is widely used for various fluid handling applications due to its flexibility, durability, and chemical resistance.
LDPE hose is highly flexible and easy to handle, allowing it to bend and conform to different shapes and contours without kinking or collapsing. This flexibility facilitates easy installation and routing in various applications.
LDPE hose maintains its performance across a broad temperature range, typically from -40°C to +60°C (-40°F to +140°F). This temperature stability allows it to be used in both cold and hot fluid transfer applications.
Water and Fluid Transfer: LDPE hose is commonly used for water distribution, irrigation systems, and fluid transfer applications in agricultural, gardening, and industrial settings.
Chemical Handling: Due to its chemical resistance, LDPE hose is used in laboratories, chemical processing plants, and industrial facilities for transporting acids, alkalis, and various chemicals.
Medical and Pharmaceutical: LDPE tubing is used in medical devices and pharmaceutical manufacturing for fluid transfer and conveying non-critical fluids where compatibility and cost-effectiveness are priorities.
Food and Beverage: LDPE hose is FDA-approved for food contact applications and is used in food processing and beverage industries for conveying liquids safely.
Pneumatic Systems: In pneumatic applications, LDPE tubing is used for air lines, pneumatic tools, and instrumentation due to its flexibility and ease of installation.
