Notes
PE-LINED EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) is designed for use where high purity is required. It offers excellent chemical resistance and non-toxicity, while maintaining good flexibility. A co-extruded product, POLYETHYLENE-LINED EVA is made of a low density polyethylene liner with an EVA outer jacket. It is manufactured in a patented process (Patent No. 4061461) to ensure the highest bond quality possible.
POLYETHYLENE-LINED EVA TUBING meets Class VI requirements and is accepted for use in poultry and meat processing. POLYETHYLENE-LINED EVA also meets or exceeds standards in National Formulary, Vol. 14 for containers for injectables (plastics).
This product is an
excellent substitute for PTFE (fluoropolymer), at working
temperatures below 100°F, with cost savings of 50% or
more being realized. For working temperatures up to
180°F and greater stress resistance, ask about
IRRADIATED POLYETHYLENE-LINED EVA TUBING.
Custom sizes of POLYETHYLENE LINED EVA
TUBING are available through minimum order. Repetitive
cutting, fabrication, and overbraiding (for higher
pressure capability) are available. Samples of stock
material are available upon request.
