Our plastic tubes are generally available in polystyrene (PS) but we are also able to supply Polypropylene (PP) and High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) products. Plastic tubes are commonly used in laboratory environments and can be an efficient and dependable replacement for glass tubes.

Safer and more economical than glass

Plastic tubes are generally a more economical alternative to glass tubes. We can mould thousands of plastic tubes in just an hour, and this means we can offer highly competitive prices. Glass tubes require much more time to produce, and this inevitably means that you will pay more for them. You can ensure the content of a plastic tube stay intact by adding a stopper to the tube.

A child-friendly option

It’s common for plastic tubes to be used when children are around, with environments the tubes are commonly found in including homes, schools and museums. Plastic tubes are regularly used to store materials that are not capable of eating through the plastic.

Recyclable

As a responsible supplier we are conscious of our efforts to minimise the risk of damage to the environment through plastic pollution. All our plastic materials are fully recyclable and can be disposed of for reuse ensuring minimum impact to the environment.
