Chemistry Lab Tubing

Shrink wrap tubing is the most economical way of packing items. It is almost similar to centerfold shrink film, with the difference that the non-folded side is sealed to create a tube. In shrink wrap tubing, items are tucked in between the folds of the tubing, and then the bottom and top edges are sealed.


Shrink wrap tubing is available in PVC, polyethylene and polyolefin. PVC shrink wrap tubing is the most popular type. This is commonly used for packing soaps, battery, candles, CDs and other products. PVC shrink wrap tubing comes with high gloss and clarity, and will shrink at low heat. Thus, PVC shrink wrap tubing is easy to work with. It is available in various sizes, most commonly within the range of 2 to 34 inches width and a length of 250 to1500 ft. The cost of the PVC shrink wrap tubing varies with the size. A 12 inch wide and 1500 long PVC shrink wrap tubing costs more than $20.


Another popular variety is polyethylene shrink wrap tubing. This will shrink only at high temperature, and is anti-static in nature. It is therefore widely used by electricians for sealing buried electrical connectors. It is also ideal to pack electronic components such as circuit boards, subject to damages caused by static electricity. Polyethylene shrink wrap tubing is available in different sizes, and at various price levels. It comes in eye catching colors, bound to meet all packaging needs.


Polyolefin shrink wrap tubing is not as popular as PVC and polyethylene shrink wrap tubing. It shrinks at high temperature, and is widely used for wrapping electrical wires and equipment. Polyolefin shrink wrap tubing is also seen in different colors.


Shrink wrap tubing can be bought at local stores or online shops specializing in the same. Online shops provide countless options for different kinds of shrink wrap tubing.
