Q:Are plastic tubes resistant to staining?

Yes, plastic tubes are generally resistant to staining due to their non-porous nature, which makes them less likely to absorb and retain stains compared to other materials.

Q:Seems to me they could be half the size they are and would still be perfectly usable.

There are so many other problems in this world. Bigger ones. Plastic is plastic man. If the tube was half the size, that's half the stuff, so you'd buy twice as much. Same amount of plastic. More work in production. Pointless. *shrugs*

Q:I want to do a carnival game in which people try to make balls into hollow plastic tubes. I want them to be pretty long too. At which store can I buy them?

Try your local old corner hardware store. They have lots of stuff the big box retailers don't carry. They actually employ knowlegeable folks that genuinely enjoy helping you because their future depends on you to come back. You will find these tubes in the plumbing dept. and they come in white or black. There may also be grey plastic used in electrical conduit tubing.

Q:I am on home oxygen and my air hose keeps kinking up. How do I stop that?

Since this could be a Life Threatening Situation you should speak to your Doctor and the supplier of your Medical Oxygen equipment BEFORE changing anything. They have experience with YOUR situation and can make suggestions accordingly. If you do not Twist or Severely Bend the tubing by over tensioning it, as would happen if you pulled on it when it became taught, it likely should not be kinking. Therefore try to adjust how you treat the tubing in those situations to avoid that problem in the future. Alternately, if the strain is caused by a length of tubing that is too short thus restricting your movements to the point of kinking, a slightly longer piece of tubing might be in order. (CONSULT your Doctor about the appropriateness BEFORE changing the length of the tubing.) In the case of many of the clear plastic tubings, a given size (I.D. / Inside Diameter) is available with more than one Wall Thickness. A Thicker Wall will make the tubing less likely to kink or crush out of shape, but will be stiffer and heavier.

Q:How are plastic tubes sealed for long-term storage?

Plastic tubes are typically sealed for long-term storage using various methods such as heat sealing, ultrasonic sealing, or crimping. These techniques ensure a secure and airtight seal, preventing any leakage or contamination during storage and maintaining the integrity of the contents inside.

Q:My 99 Ford Escort has been making sloshy water sounds and whistling sounds on the passenger side of the car when I run the A/C. I have also noticed that the floor is damp on the passenger side only. If I look up under and behind the glove compartment there is a black plastic box that is covered with condensation within a few minutes of running the a/c. Based on what I've read, this problem is probably a blocked drain rather than the heater core (I live in Florida and haven't touched my heater in 6 months :P). Can anyone confirm? The noise has also been getting worse, I noticed the damp floor a week or two ago, but the water noises have only kicked up the past 2 days. Will running the a/c without fixing it permanently damage anything? If I can't locate the drain to unblock and have to take it into the mechanic, how much would I be looking at? Thanks!

sounds okorder and see if there are any recalls on that model.want hurt anything and if there is a recall they have to fix it no matter what the year

Q:What are the advantages of using plastic tubes in the electronic packaging industry?

There are several advantages of using plastic tubes in the electronic packaging industry. Firstly, plastic tubes are lightweight, which makes them easy to handle and transport, reducing shipping costs. Secondly, plastic tubes provide excellent protection against moisture, dust, and other contaminants, ensuring the safety and longevity of electronic components. Additionally, plastic tubes are customizable, allowing for various sizes and shapes to accommodate different electronic devices. Lastly, plastic tubes are cost-effective compared to other packaging materials, making them a cost-efficient option for the electronic packaging industry.

Q:I want to make some big lollipops for decorations for a party (like the link ones) and i'm planning to spray paint styrofoam and wrap it in colorful saran wrap. but i just need the big plastic lollipop stick, does anyone know where i can get some? Thanks a bunch! (: preferably cheap and links would be appreciated :D

Those plastic tubes are actually called PVC pipe. Any hardware or lumber store sells it. Most will also cut it to order for you. It's not costly at all. Figure out how many and what length you need before going to the store, of course. Even though it is primarily white to start with, you may also need to buy opaque white spray paint to use on it; sometimes it has markings on it that don't come off. See what the shop clerks there recommend.

Q:How do plastic tubes compare in cost to other packaging options?

Plastic tubes are generally cost-effective compared to other packaging options due to their low production costs, lightweight nature, and efficient use of materials.

Q:Is home tap water iron or plastic good?

As a water pipe, use after a few years, produced a lot of rust in the tube, the outflow of water not only pollute the sanitary ware, and mixed with smooth inner wall corrosion caused by bacteria, heavy metal content in the water is too high, serious harm to human health (the state has been prohibited when drinking water).
