Applications
The 6 mil thickness makes this tubing ideal for heavy-duty industrial applications. Manufacturing operations use it to protect machinery parts, automotive components, and metal fabrications from scratches, dust, and moisture during storage or transit. Warehouse and distribution centers rely on this heavy gauge for oversized items that require cut-to-fit packaging—furniture legs, pipe fittings, and irregular shapes that don't fit standard bag sizes. The 16" width accommodates rolled posters, blueprints, and architectural drawings when extra protection is needed. Food processing facilities use this FDA-compliant tubing for bulk wrapping and protective interleaving of large food items.

Common Questions
Q: What equipment do I need to use poly tubing?
A: At minimum, you need a way to cut the tubing (scissors, knife, or tubing cutter) and a heat sealer to close the ends. Impulse sealers work well for 6 mil material—use a sealer rated for heavy gauge film. Alternatively, you can staple or tape the ends closed.

A: This roll contains 725 linear feet of 16"-wide tubing. At 6 mil thickness, the roll comes on a standard 12" diameter core with a 3" center hole.
Q: Is this tubing food safe?
A: Yes. This tubing is made from 100% virgin low-density polyethylene and meets FDA requirements for food contact. It's suitable for wrapping or packaging food products.
