Long-Life, Temperature-Resistant Tubing for Food and Beverage Applications Formulated to withstand extreme temperatures from -75°F to 275°F, Tygon A-60-F tubing will not crack or deteriorate when used in demanding food and beverage applications. Extremely 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-in-place cleaning and sterilization systems. It is compatible with virtually all commercial cleaners and sanitizers and can be repeatedly autoclaved for up to five cycle times without affecting its overall service life. Tygon A-60-F tubing complies with FDA 21 CFR, 177.2600 criteria, 3-A Sanitary Standards and NSF Standard 51, which are applicable in many food contact applications. Features and Benefits • Long flex life in peristaltic pumps • Temperature resistant from -75°F to 275°F • Compatible with virtually all common sanitizers and cleaners • Ozone and UV light resistant • Repeatedly autoclavable • Chemically compatible with a wide range of cleaners Regulatory Compliance • FDA 21 CFR, 177.2600 criteria* • NSF-51 • 3-A Now Available to Withstand Elevated Pressure Certain applications require using pressures that only reinforced tubing can withstand. For those applications, Tygon A-60-F IB tubing is now available. It has the same desirable properties as Tygon A-60-F tubing with an additional reinforcement 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.
