Grayline FB80-PE-EVA is a high-purity, low density polyethylene lined, EVA tubing that is sanctioned by the FDA for food and beverage contact applications. This tubing material also meets USP Class VI requirements and is suitable for use in poultry and meat processing. It offers excellent chemical resistance and remains pliable even after extended contact with alcohol. It also has a low coefficient of friction which allows easy passage of solids, alcohols, acids, caustics and solvents.

*Working pressures are calculated at 1:3 ratio relative to burst pressure. The selection of size and material for any particular application is the user’s responsibility. The designer must consider many factors (e.g. temperature, fluid, connections, etc.) when specifying the tubing.
The values listed in this bulletin, to the best of our knowledge, are accurate. They are typical performance results and are not intended to be used as design data. We disclaim all liability in connection with the use of information contained herein or otherwise.
