Question:

What are toothpaste tubes made of??

I'm assuming that toothpaste tubes are made of a metal of some sort but i'm not sure what the exact material used is?does anyone know and why?

Answer:

Toothpaste tubes are made from three basic materials: aluminum, plastic, and glue. Typically, toothpaste tubes have outer and inner layers of polyethylene, a plastic, with a layer of aluminum foil glued between them. The inner plastic layer does not react chemically with the active ingredients in toothpaste.
