Freelin-Wade uses two different classes of polyethylene for their tubing: Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) and Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE). The difference between the two is that LDPE is more flexible while LLDPE has superior environmental stress crack resistance.

LDPE is extruded to close tolerances from high quality low density polyethylene resins. All colors except red, comply with FDA regulation 21 CFR 177.1520(c) for food contact applications. Freelin-Wade’s LDPE has a water absorption rate of 0.15%, per ASTM D-570 standards. It is priced economically, making it a great value.
