Q:What can soften the glue that sticks the plastic tube?

General decoration is hot melt method, followed by not glue. If it's glue, it's the PVC solvent. These two are not allowed to be dismantled... There is no good way.... I used to do the decoration when the use of hot melt do, is to use an electric appliance that PVC soft hot, and then he received together, you that to the white, the melting of the PVC tube pressure out of the more. That's not glue.

Q:Do plastic tubes have any limitations in terms of static electricity buildup?

Yes, plastic tubes can have limitations in terms of static electricity buildup. Depending on the type of plastic used, some tubes can generate and accumulate static electricity more easily than others. This can be a concern in certain industries or applications where static discharge could cause damage or disruption to sensitive equipment or materials. To mitigate this, anti-static additives or treatments can be incorporated into the plastic during manufacturing to reduce static buildup.

Q:How do you transport plastic tubes?

Plastic tubes can be transported by packaging them securely in boxes or crates to prevent damage. They can also be transported in bulk using pallets and stretch wrap for stability. It is important to handle them with care to avoid any deformation or breakage during transportation.

Q:how long would it take for air inside a plastic tube 3inch by 1inch to go stale?

What do you mean by go stale? Smell bad? Become contaminated with organics from the tube? I would think you would also need to specify what kind of plastic that makes the tube to have a chance to answer this.

Q:I would like to connect a Maytag icemaker valve to 1/4 plastic tubing. This is not for use in an actual ice maker. I've tried using a compression fitting from Home Depot, but it leaks between the tubing and fitting. Using the collar and insert pieces don't make a difference.Any idea on how to securely connect this two parts?

the parts do have to be wrench tightened on the compression fittings. I find if you put a little teflon thread compound on the parts as you assemble them it will prevent any leaks. remember to cut back the tubing you have already tried before because it will be deformed.

Q:What are the common sizes of plastic tubes used for bottling?

The common sizes of plastic tubes used for bottling vary depending on the specific industry and product. However, some common sizes include 2 oz, 4 oz, 8 oz, 16 oz, and 32 oz plastic tubes.

Q:i recently rescued a fish tank from a house move which had 3 gold fish and the fish are fine but the pump is missing a lengh of tubs for the air bubbles i have been looking around for a replacement tube but was wondering is the pipe on the motor is a standard size as as i dont know how to measure it i have seen some tubing from OKorder but i rather check first as i dont want to buy the wrong one the fist tank is a Marina Cool 21L Blue the tank was also missing a light which i recently purchased a Marina LED Light Unit the motor works fine as long as the air intake is just above the water line the pipe is about 1/2 inch in lengh the motor is submersable any advice would be greatly appericated stephen

using standard size plastic tubing like other air pumps on the market (about 5-6mm in diameter)

Q:Can plastic tubes be used for bottling beverages?

Yes, plastic tubes can be used for bottling beverages.

Q:I use a length of plastic tubing and after using it for a while (few months) it changed from clear to opaque. It had been exposed to heat, alcohol and water, nothing else. If you know why it changed colors please fill me in. Also, I would like to know if it is changed chemically that might effect things traveling through it or if it is merely a cosmetic change and I can ignore it for the most part.

If the plastic tubing was exposed to heat, then the resultant color change was most like due to a disruption in the chemical lattice of the plastic. A plastic is basically a polymer or group of polymers (polymer=same chemical compound repeated over and over again). When heat or another energy source is apllied, it has the ability to alter the polymer structure. Think of a polymer in similar terms as a crystal; all of the compounds in the plastic will align themselves in a similar way as the previous compound. When you do this with minerals, you end up with a clear or partially clear crystal. The same basic principal applies to polymers (plastics). Hope this helps!! P.S. some chemicals have the same ability to alter the plastic, same as an enrgy source..

Q:What are the common applications of plastic tubes?

Plastic tubes have a wide range of applications across various industries. Some common uses include packaging for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food products. They are also used in plumbing and electrical systems for insulation and protection. Additionally, plastic tubes are utilized in medical devices, automotive parts, and construction materials.
