More About Beverage Tubing Bev-Flex® Series 172 Polyester-Reinforced Polyethylene Beverage Hose:
Beverage Tubing is specially formulated for transferring a wide variety of beverages including soft drinks, fruit juices, flavored teas and bottled water. In virtually all cases, it will not affect the taste or odor of product transferred through it, while its excellent non-wetting properties facilitate complete drainage and permit simple flush-cleaning.
Many of the unique properties inherent to Beverage Tubing also apply to a wide variety of complex applications, ranging from fine cosmetic production to the dispensing of water-based printing inks found in the publishing industry.
