Q:Do plastic tubes have any UV resistance?

Yes, plastic tubes can have UV resistance. Many plastic materials used to manufacture tubes, such as PVC, HDPE, and polycarbonate, can be formulated with UV stabilizers or additives that enhance their resistance to UV radiation. This resistance helps to minimize the degradation and discoloration of the plastic tubes when exposed to sunlight or other sources of UV light.

Q:Can plastic tubes be used for storing petrochemicals?

Yes, plastic tubes can be used for storing petrochemicals.

Q:I'm looking to make my own gas mask bong like the one pictured here . I've looked as jumbo sized plastic test tubes but they are not big enough. I just need a link to buy tubes that big. preferably plastic.

I'd say your best bet is a head-shop or smoke-shop as they sell all sorts of accessories for smoking, the tubes could be homemade or makeshift made in a shop by a tradesmen. Lastly smoking out of plastic is not as good as glass it has more carcinogens or something i remember reading about it somewhere. Hope that helps

Q:What is the lifespan of plastic tubes?

The lifespan of plastic tubes can vary depending on several factors such as the type of plastic used, the conditions they are exposed to, and the intended application. However, plastic tubes can generally last for several years to decades, especially if they are made from high-quality materials and properly maintained.

Q:What connections can be used for plastic pipes?

In addition, mechanical connections can be made using flange connections or with some metal or plastic mechanical connections.Plastic is not recommended for threaded connections.

Q:Can plastic tubes be used for storing personal hygiene products?

Yes, plastic tubes can be used for storing personal hygiene products. Plastic tubes are often used for packaging various personal care items such as toothpaste, lotions, creams, and gels. They are convenient, lightweight, and provide airtight packaging to preserve the contents and prevent contamination.

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:Can plastic tubes be used for insulation in construction?

Yes, plastic tubes can be used for insulation in construction. Plastic tubes, such as PVC or PEX, are commonly used as insulation materials for plumbing and HVAC systems. They provide thermal insulation by preventing heat transfer and can also help reduce condensation and noise transmission. Plastic tubes are lightweight, flexible, and easy to install, making them a popular choice for insulating pipes and ducts in construction projects.

Q:the drinking water to taste like plastic of vinyl? Or could it be the new inline filter that I placed behind the fridge? I ran 3 gallons of water after I fixed the broken water line (split in half near the bottom where it 180s) and change the filter. When you first drink the water, it tastes ok. After the glass sits for a while, it takes on a plastic taste. Could it be that 4 inch piece of clear plastis hose I used to splice the water line?

This will not taste like the plastic of vinyl.

Q:i have a top fin 30 filter,and i was wondering should bubbles be coming out of the clear plastic tube?

Alex, If you have a Top Fin filter which you hang on the outside of your tank while the tube is inside the tank, then no you shouldn't be seeing bubbles. You could have connected the extension tube incorrectly into the energizer well. Try removing it and replacing it again. This should allow the intake tube to pull water up and through the filter. You probably already know this - but remember to add water to the top of your filter so the filter will begin operating correctly. If you still have problems, go through your instruction booklet again...:) (Nosoop4u has a great suggestion as well..) Have a good day!
