Shenzhen Forbest has been running extrusion lines for over twelve years. We supply polyethylene tubing to assembly plants, medical device makers, and food processing facilities across Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia. If you need a tough, no-nonsense tube that handles compressed air, water, or mild chemicals without cracking or going limp, this is it.
We make our PE tubing from virgin LDPE and HDPE resins. No regrind, no fillers. That means consistent wall thickness, no weak spots, and a smooth inner bore that doesn’t mess with flow rates. Compared to PVC, our polyethylene tubing stays flexible in cold shops (we’ve tested it down to -40°C without splitting). Compared to nylon, it costs about half as much and won’t swell in humid environments.
What you get with Forbest polyethylene tubing:
-
Straight from our extruder to your line – no middleman markup
-
Cut pieces or full rolls (10m to 1000m)
-
Color options: natural, black, blue, red, yellow (stripes also possible)
-
OEM welcome – we print your part number or add stripes
Technical Details & Comparison
LDPE vs. HDPE – Which One Fits Your Job?
Not all polyethylene tubing is the same. Here’s how our two grades compare in real-world terms:
| Property | LDPE Tubing (flexible) | HDPE Tubing (stiffer) |
|---|---|---|
| Density | 0.910–0.925 g/cm³ | 0.941–0.965 g/cm³ |
| Tensile Strength | 8–12 MPa | 20–30 MPa |
| Stretch before break | 500–650% | 350–500% |
| Bending stiffness | Low – very flexible | Medium – holds shape better |
| Best for | Pneumatic lines, peristaltic pumps | Higher-pressure air, retractable coils |
