Tygon® A-60-F - Long-Life Peristaltic Pump Tubing

Long-Life, Temperature Resistant Tubing for Food and Beverage

Formulated to withstand extreme Temperatures from -24°C (-75°F) to 135°C (275°F), Tygon® A-60-F Tubing will not crack or deteriorate when used in demanding food and beverage applications. Extremly flexible, it resists kinks and retains its shape while installing quickly and easily. Its excellent flexural fatigue resistance makes it the absolute best choice for use in peristaltic pumps often found in dispensing equipment. Repeatedly autoclavable, it can be steam cleaned in place, eliminating the need for frequent tubing replacement. When harsh sanitizing solutions are used, it exhibits exceptional chemical resistance and is entirely unaffected by a wide variety of cleaning solutions.

Simplifies Cleaning and Sterilization

Tygon® A-60-F Tubing is ideal for use in clean-in-place and steam-inplace cleaning and sterilization systems. It is compatible with virtually all commercial cleaners and sanitizers an can be repeatedly autoclaved for up to five cycle times without affecting its overall service life. Tygon® A-60-F complies with FDA 21 CFR, 177.2600 criteria, 3-A Sanitary Standards and NSF Standard 51, which are applicable in many food contact applications.

Now available to withstand elevated Pressure

Certain applications require using pressures that only reinforced tubing can withstand. For those applications, Tygon® A-60-F I.B. Tubing is now available. It has the same desirable properties as Tygon® A-60-F Tubing with an additional reinforced embedded within its walls to withstand elevated pressure.

Excellent Chemical Resistance

Tygon® A-60-F Tubing has excellent acid and alkali resistance, and is compatible with numerous oxidizing agents such as peroxide, hypochlorite and ozone.

Please note: Tygon® A-60-F has been replaced with Tygon® A-60-C.
