LDPE Specification
UN-REINFORCED LDP MDP AND EVA FOOD GRADE TUBES
These particular tube products are ideal in low-pressure applications, predominantly within the pneumatics, brewing and food industry.
Manufactured from high quality materials, which have the complete approval of the F.D.A and B.G.A. They do not rely on a plasticiser for flexibility, which could be leeched out causing contamination. Therefore L.D.P and E.V.A. tubes are perfect for conveying food based products.
Working Pressures and Temperatures
The working pressures quoted within the charts are based on the short-term pressure at 20° C using a 4 to 1 safety factor.
L.D.P. and E.V.A. can be used at temperatures up to 55° C at lower temperatures the tube will become less flexible.
