Irrigation tubes are made of PEBD (low density Polyethylene) which is a homopolymeric or copolymeric resin of polyethylene added to anti-oxidative, pigments and ultra-violet stabilizers, etc...

• Easy transport and installation thanks to their lightness and flexibility
• Good hydraulic properties
• Long lifetime
• Low cost of labour
• Water sparing (minimal loss with drip system)
• High performance
