Pexco specializes in the custom manufacturing of plastic dip tubes designed to deliver fluid efficiently from containers through a pump or spray dispenser. These tubes are critical components used in a wide range of packaging applications across industries such as industrial, personal care, food, and pharmaceuticals.
What is a Dip Tube?
A dip tube is a plastic tube inserted into a bottle, jar, or container and connected to a pump or spray mechanism at the top. Its primary function is to draw liquid from the bottom of the container and transport it up through the dispensing system for smooth and consistent fluid delivery.
Pexco produces dip tubes using high-quality thermoplastic resins in multiple lengths and diameters, with various end-cut configurations, and with FDA-grade materials to meet safety and regulatory requirements for food and pharmaceutical applications.
