A conveyor roller tube for a conveyor system, the conveyor roller tube comprising a plurality of co-extruded polymer layers, including:
- an inner layer including a first polymer material;
- and,
- an outer layer including a second polymer material;
- wherein said outer layer is formed to have high wear-resistant properties;
- and,
- wherein said outer layer is formed to be of a different colour to the inner layer adjacent thereto so that, during use of said conveyor system, said colour difference between said inner and outer layers provides a visual indication of the wear of said roller tube.
