Tygon® Chemical
Tygon® Chemical - Long Pump Life - Chemical Dispensing Tubing
Unique Contamination of Properties
Tygon® Chemical Peristaltic Pump Tubing is a high-performance, coextruded product specifically formulated to provide an ideal combination of chemical resistance and pump life. Its inert ultra-smooth, plasticizerfree bore resists the absorption/adsorption of aqueous fluids while the Tygon® outer jacket provides long flex life in peristaltic pumps. Tygon® Chemical Peristaltic Pump Tubing is an excellent choice for soap and detergent dispensing.
Outstanding Chemical Resistance
The inner liner of Tygon® Chemical Peristaltic Pump Tubing significantly increases the chemical resistance and allows for a broader range of usability. The tubing is virtually unaffected by acids, bases, salts, ketones and alcohols, allowing its use in a wide range of chemical applications without the use of multiple tubings.
Superior Pump Life
The outer jacket of Tygon® Chemical Peristaltic Pump tubing is extremely flexible, expanding the pump life of the tubing and reducing downtime due to pump tubing failure.
Additional benefits
Tygon® Chemical Peristaltic Pump tubing complies with applicable FDA food additive regulations for its intended use. It is virtually unaffected by most commercial sanitizers and cleaners and can be autoclaved for up to five cycle times without affecting its overall service life
