Polypropylene Tubes
We make a diverse range of tubes in this material, from diameters up to 110mm.
About
Polypropylene Tubes
Polypropylene has excellent resistance to organic solvents, degreasing agents, and electrolytic attacks. It has a relatively low impact strength, but its working temperatures and tensile strength are far superior to those of Polyethylene. The material is very lightweight and semi-rigid, ideal for the transfer of liquids or gases. Very good resistance to acids and alkalis, but is attacked by chlorinated solvents. Working temperature: -20°C to +90°C.
We make a diverse range of tubes from this material in diameters up to 110mm– it will not break with a sharp edge, but instead crease or buckle, making it a safe material for use in some children’s toys.

POLYPROPYLENE TUBING UK FAQs
What is the difference between a polypropylene tube and polyethylene tube?
Polypropylene tubes are made from a semi-rigid plastic material that is known for its superior strength and chemical resistance capabilities. It has a working temperature range of -20°C to +90°C and is often used in the vehicle and industrial manufacturing industries.
Polyethylene tubes are made from a softer material than polypropylene and are not as strong or resistant to chemical attack. It has a lower working temperature range of -35°C to +55°C and is often used for water pipes, food packaging, and other domestic applications or specific commercial applications.
Do polypropylene tubes adhere to laboratory protocols?
Yes, polypropylene tubes are a popular choice for laboratory applications due to their temperature resistance and chemical resistance properties. They can also be used as conduits for gases and liquids in many industries, making them a versatile option.
