Clear poly tubing or polyethylene tubing is widely used to pack a lot of different items. Usually, it comes in rolls that can be trimmed for when a product is to be packed. It may be used as a loose sleeve around a product or it may be used to seal the product directly. Heat sealers are typically used for sealing. If a heat sealer is used, a cutter blade should be available in order to trim the tube.
It displays a high degree of inertness, making it good for use in markets such as food and beverage products, labs, and chemical processing where leaching or permeability would present risks. It can handle a wide variety of functions ranging from potable water feed to drain lines to pneumatic signal lines used in instrumentation.
Clear poly tubing is made of non-renewable resources such as crude oil and natural gas, which creates low density polyethylene.
Clear poly tubing is typically produced through a process called Tubular Film Process or Blown Film Extrusion.Because clear poly tubing is made from polyethylene, which has been recognized as an engineering plastic, it has properties unique to it. It is strong & durable, lightweight, waterproof, weather resistant, resistant to chemicals, and it is cheaper than other forms of packaging.
And clear poly tubing isn't only a less expensive packaging material, because it's cut at the point of packaging, it also results in less waste and a more perfected packaging solution.
As a result, there are many small enterprises and manufacturers who want these benefits have turned to clear poly tubing.
