PE-2000® LLDPE’s greatest advantage over low density polyethylene is its superior environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR), withstanding 500 hours exposure to IGEPAL solution per ASTM D-1693 ESCR tests. Environmental stresses that can shorten the service life of tubing include: chemical exposure, aging, ultraviolet light, connection to barb-type fittings, or high vibration connections with compression fittings.
