Since 1965, Henry Gallacher has supplied high-quality materials to industry. Now part of PAR Group, we offer a range of engineering plastic tubes.
The tubes include polycarbonate (for optical clarity), nylon 6 (for strength), and acetal (for sliding properties). For high-temperature, chemical, or food-contact environments, we also supply PEEK and PTFE tubes.
Plastic tubes are available by the metre or in set lengths, depending on grade and size. Most can be machined into custom parts such as bushes, rollers, wheels, and washers.
We also supply flexible plastic tubing in smaller diameters for the transfer of liquids, gases, and solids.
Browse the plastic tube range below for specifications and availability, or get in touch with the sales team for more information.
A durable and rigid engineering plastic known for its high mechanical strength, wear resistance, and impact toughness. Its hardness facilitates easy machining into bespoke components. Suitable for temperatures from -50°C to +100°C.
A versatile, hard engineering plastic available in multiple grades and colours. Favoured across industries for its strength, hardness, and machinability. Temperature range from -40°C to +110°C.
Ideal for applications demanding exceptional chemical and high-temperature resistance. PTFE also offers excellent non-stick characteristics and is suitable for food contact. Temperature range from -200°C to +260°C.
Renowned for its impact resistance, optical clarity, and chemical resistance, polycarbonate is easy to weld and bond, making it suitable for fabricated assemblies. Maximum temperature up to +115°C.
Offering good optical clarity and UV resistance, acrylic is a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor display applications, though it has less impact strength than polycarbonate. Suitable up to +70°C.
A premium-grade plastic offering outstanding resistance to chemicals, hydrolysis, radiation, and high temperatures. FDA approved for food contact. Temperature range from -60°C to +250°C.
Dimensionally stable and versatile, PET offers excellent wear resistance, mechanical strength, and machinability. Suitable for food contact. Temperature range from -20°C to +100°C.
Crafted from unfilled polyimide resin, Vespel® SP-1 tube excels in temperature resistance, mechanical strength, and electrical insulation. Suitable for use up to +288°C.
Our standard clear plastic tubing, suitable for low-pressure transfer of solids, liquids, and gases. PVC tubing is approved for food contact applications. Temperature range from -15°C to +60°C.
Flexible nylon tubing is available in various colours, offering good mechanical strength and lightweight properties. Supplied in both metric and imperial sizes. Temperature range from -40°C to +80°C.
Thermoplastic polyurethane tubing with 55°D hardness, flexible and highly resistant to wear and abrasion. Available in multiple colours. Temperature range from -50°C to +55°C.
Flexible PTFE tubing offering excellent resistance to high temperatures, chemicals, and ozone. It also features outstanding non-stick properties. Temperature range from -70°C to +265°C.
Low-density polyethylene tubing, food-approved and suitable for low-pressure pneumatic applications. Exhibits excellent resistance to chemicals, water, and organic salt solutions. Temperature range from -20°C to +50°C.
Medium-density polyethylene tubing, food-approved and chemically resistant. Offers higher working pressure than LDPE tubing. Temperature range from -20°C to +50°C.
Flexible high-density polyethylene tubing, commonly used for low-pressure pneumatic air and water conveyance. Supports higher working pressures than LDPE and MDPE. Temperature range from -20°C to +50°C.
Offering chemical resistance and strength comparable to PTFE, PFA tubing also features excellent non-stick properties and is FDA approved for food contact. Temperature range from -260°C to +260°C.
Produced from FDA-approved nylon 12, this tubing offers improved mechanical properties, enhanced optical clarity, and superior chemical resistance compared to standard nylon tubing. Temperature range from -40°C to +110°C.
