Chemical Resistance Tygon® LP-1200

The evaluation presented here is based on 28-day immersion tests. However, a final assessment of suitability for a specific application should always take into account the specific operating conditions and be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. We would be happy to assist you with our expertise.
Rating Scale
Excellent (E) = very high resistance
Good (G) = good resistance
Fair (F) = limited resistance; application testing recommended
Poor (X) = not recommended

Chemical Resistance – General Assessment
Tygon® LP-1200 is chemically optimized for continuous exposure to fuels, oils, and hydrocarbon-based media. Gasoline, diesel, kerosene, naphtha, and both aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons demonstrate excellent compatibility. Mineral, motor, and lubricating oils are also rated highly resistant. A key advantage for modern fuel systems is its excellent compatibility with alcohols such as ethanol and methanol, supporting reliable use with ethanol-enhanced fuels.

Its fluoropolymer inner liner additionally provides remarkably broad resistance to numerous solvents, acids, alkaline chemicals, and salt solutions. However, several specific limitations remain: acetone and MEK, anhydrous ammonia, and anhydrous bromine, for example, are not recommended. Tygon® LP-1200 should therefore primarily be positioned as a high-performance fuel and oil tubing with an extended chemical resistance profile rather than as a universal chemical transfer tube.
