This 4″ flat-lay LDPE poly tubing is manufactured at 3 mil thickness from 100% virgin Low Density Polyethylene resin. The narrow tube format is designed for sleeving metallic rods, bar stock, dowels, and similar elongated cylindrical components requiring individual protection against scratches, moisture, and surface contamination during storage or transit.
Specs: 4″ Flat-Lay (approx. 8″ circumference / 2.5″ diameter) | 3 mil | LDPE | FDA Compliant | 3-in. Core | 2000 FT/Roll
Applications
- Metallic rod, shaft, and bar stock individual sleeving
- Wood dowel and curtain rod packaging
- Machined cylindrical part surface protection
- Narrow tube and conduit end-cap sleeving
- Bulk candle and narrow food-product bundling (FDA compliant)
- Custom-length protective sleeves for elongated thin components
Features
- 4″ flat-lay — opens to approximately 8″ circumference (approx. 2.5″ interior diameter)
- 3 mil thickness — medium-duty puncture and abrasion resistance
- FDA/USDA compliant LDPE resin
- Neatly wound on a 3″ core with 1″ diameter core plug
- Cut to any length; heat seal, tie, staple, or tape to close ends
- 2000 FT per roll for high-volume production sleeving runs
Material Notes
Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) tubing conforms gently around cylindrical profiles without adding stress or deformation. Even wall thickness ensures consistent surface protection across the full 2000 ft. roll. FDA/USDA compliant for food contact applications including bulk candle packaging or similarly regulated items.
Use Case Notes
At 4″ flat-lay, this tubing accommodates cylindrical items up to approximately 2.5″ in diameter — suitable for standard 1″ and 1.5″ bar stock, most wood dowel diameters, standard curtain rod profiles, and similarly sized cylindrical components. Cut lengths are typically 1–2″ longer than the part to allow tucking or heat sealing at each end. For automated tube-and-seal packaging, verify tube pitch compatibility with your equipment.
Common Questions
Q: What is the maximum diameter this tubing can accommodate?
A: At 4″ flat-lay, the interior circumference is approximately 8″, allowing items up to about 2.5″ in diameter to slide in with minimal clearance. For larger diameters, 6″ or wider tubing would be appropriate.
Q: Can this tubing be used for food packaging?
A: Yes. The LDPE resin meets FDA/USDA specifications for direct food contact. Common applications include bulk candle packaging in the food/confectionery sector and similar narrow food-product sleeving.
