Drinking water tubes are made of PEBD (low density Polyethylene) which is a homopolymeric or copolymeric resin of polyethylene added to anti-oxidative, pigments and ultra-violet stabilizers, etc...

• Easy transport and installation thanks to their lightness and flexibility
• Easy soldering through end-to-end electrofusion, allowing a totally-soldered system
• Resistance to internal, external and microbiological corrosion
• Good hydraulic properties
• High chemical resistance
• Long life time with minimal final cost
• No effect if in contact with food products
