Zelite® Low-Density Polyethylene Tubing
Zelite LDPE tubing conforms to the applicable regulations of the FDA for use in articles intended for contact with food. The increased tensile strength of Zelite Linear Low Density, over that of a low-density polyethylene, enhances its resistance to splitting during use. FEP-lined polyethylene, offering superior purity at a very reasonable cost, is available through minimum order. Medium-high and ultra-high density polyethylene material is available through minimum order. Call for details on these custom products.

Cut Pieces – When tubing comes in, for example, 100 foot coils, and you need it in 10’ sections, tubing can be cut. Request a quote.
Size – Tubing is stocked in common I.D. and O.D. sizes, but this product can be custom extruded in other sizes. Let’s talk about what you need. Minimum quantities apply.
Color – Have your tubing colored to match equipment, company colors, or identify line (hot or cold, indoor or outdoor, chemicals, etc.).

Add length suffix to part number when ordering. Example: 500 ft. of 0.170” ID x 1/4” OD black color tubing is part number 251 0529-500.
Red and blue color tubing is sold by standard coil length only (500 ft.).
ID is the critical dimension for fittings application.
