Default Air Line Material??

I was wondering if anyone out there knows the material that the heavy duty air line is made out of like the stuff Dreamworks sells? Is it polyethylene, polyurethane or polypropylene or none of the above? Thanks for the responses.

Check the local dental supply houses and talk to the equipment installers. When they install 'Adec' or other dental chair equipment, they have reams of all different sizes of air line material that they just throw away after an install. Ask them if you can have any of their throw away air line. I have been using the Adec material for many years.
