Material Notes
LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) at 2 mil gauge offers excellent flexibility and elongation, conforming to bundled or irregular cylindrical shapes. Virgin resin formulation meets FDA and USDA contact specifications for incidental food contact applications.
Use Case Notes
The 4-inch flat-lay width opens to approximately 2.5 inches in diameter, accommodating standard dowel rods, bamboo stakes, foam cores, and similar items. For bundled thin-stock items, the tubing stretches to group multiple rods or stakes together. Seal one end with a heat sealer or zip tie for enclosed packaging; leave open for breathable slip-covers.
Common Questions
What diameter items fit in 4-inch poly tubing?
A 4-inch flat-lay width opens to approximately 2.5 inches in diameter, fitting most standard dowel rods, bamboo stakes, foam cores, and similar cylindrical items.
How is this different from heavier-gauge tubing?
At 2 mil, this tubing is optimized for lightweight sleeving of slender items. For heavy metal rod stock or bar stock requiring more abrasion resistance, 3 mil or heavier gauge is recommended.
Is this FDA compliant?
Yes. Manufactured from virgin LDPE resin meeting FDA and USDA specifications for incidental food contact.
Why Buy
At 3,000 feet per roll, this 2 mil tubing delivers high yield for production-scale dowel, stake, and tube sleeving operations.
