Clear Poly Tubing 6 mil 14″X 6 mil 900’/roll

Hydraulic Cylinder & Steel Rod Poly Tubing 14in — 6 mil LDPE

This 14″ lay-flat poly tubing at 6 mil LDPE is engineered for heavy industrial sleeving applications requiring extra puncture and abrasion resistance. At 6 mil, it provides the wall thickness necessary to protect hydraulic cylinders, steel shafts, and large machined components during storage and in-transit handling.

Specs: 14″ Lay-Flat (~8.9″ Expanded Dia.) | 6 mil | LDPE | 900ft/Roll | FDA Compliant

Applications

Hydraulic cylinder and rod sleeving, large steel shaft and bar protection, industrial equipment part wrapping, heavy-duty pipe protection, machine component sleeving for OEM shipping, and manufacturing floor part storage.

Features

• 14″ lay-flat width expands to approximately 8.9″ inner diameter for large cylindrical parts
• 6 mil LDPE — maximum standard gauge for extra-heavy industrial sleeving requirements
• 100% virgin LDPE resin with even wall thickness for consistent protection along the roll
• Neatly wound on 3″ core with 1″ diameter core plug for dispenser rack compatibility
• 900 ft per roll for extended production runs without frequent changeover
• Compatible with heat sealing, taping, or tying for end closure

Material Notes

LDPE at 6 mil is the heaviest standard poly tubing gauge, providing maximum resistance to puncture from sharp edges, rough surfaces, and mechanical contact during industrial handling. 100% virgin resin ensures uniform clarity and film consistency. FDA compliant material for applications where food-contact compliance is also required.

Use Case Notes

Poly tubing sleeving is the standard method for protecting elongated cylindrical components during OEM shipping and warehouse storage. The 14″ lay-flat format opens to approximately 8.9″ in diameter, accommodating most mid-to-large hydraulic cylinders, precision ground shafts, and large bar stock. At 6 mil, the tubing withstands contact with rough steel surfaces during loading without tearing through. Cut to length and seal both ends for complete enclosure.

Common Questions

How do I calculate what size tubing fits my part? Expanded inner diameter is approximately: lay-flat width x 2 / pi. For this 14″ tubing: 14 x 2 / 3.14 is approximately 8.9″ inner diameter. Add clearance for easy insertion.

Why 6 mil for industrial parts? Steel shafts and machined components often have sharp edges, splines, or threaded ends that can puncture thinner film. 6 mil is the standard choice when 4 mil is insufficient for the part surface profile.

Can this be used on a dispenser rack? Yes. The 1″ diameter core plug is designed for standard poly tubing dispenser racks, allowing clean feed and cut-to-length dispensing on the production floor.

Why Buy
