Let’s get right down to business! There is no difference. They are all just different names for the same thing: the tylene hose. Tylene hoses are used for purposes such as sprinkling your garden and water drainage.
Diving further into the world of tylene hoses, it is impossible to ignore the commonly used designation SPE-tube. The abbreviation stands for Soft PolyEthene. SPE is a widely used plastic material because of its soft texture, ductility, and low density. LDPE is the other name for SPE. LDPE stands for Low Density PolyEthylene.
