Petro Packaging Co. Inc. stocks clear tubing manufactured from Tenite™ CAB (Cellulose Acetate Butyrate). Tenite™ CAB was one of the first modern thermoplastics and has been used for over 60 years in tube and profile applications. This material is bio based and derived from 100% renewable softwood material. Butyrate offers many distinct advantages including exceptional clarity and high gloss, toughness with the ability to withstand abuse and chemically resistant to withstand environmental stress cracking. CAB is designer friendly and easy to fabricate, with high melt strength for designing complex and thick heavy parts. Tubes manufactured from this material are ideal for customers needing packaging tubes, prototypes, pneumatic conveying tubes, sight glasses and point of purchase components to name a few.

Sustainability
Transforming by-products into new products is a key element of our manufacturing process. We are dedicated to recycling non-conforming products as part of our ongoing efforts to minimize our carbon footprint. Therefore, a significant portion of our product lines can be manufactured from Post-Industrial Recyclate (PIR). This recyclate is derived from by- products of the plastics industry, providing a sustainable and practical alternative to virgin materials.
Learn more about our efforts to integrate sustainable practices into our plastic extrusion processes, fostering a more environmentally responsible approach to manufacturing.
