Features and Benefits • Long flex life in peristaltic pumps • Temperature range of -75°F to 165°F • Superior chemical resistance • Plasticizer-free bore • Meets FDA criteria for food contact • Resists absorption/adsorption of aqueous fluids • Virtually unaffected by chemical sanitizers and cleaners Typical Applications • Soap and detergent dispensing • Commercial laundry chemical dispensing • Warewash chemical dispensing • Facility cleaning chemical dispensing Tygon® ChemicalLong Pump Life Chemical Dispensing Tubing Unique Combination of Properties Tygon® Chemical Peristaltic Pump tubing is a high-performance, co-extruded product specifically formulated to provide an ideal combination of chemical resistance and pump life. Its inert ultra-smooth, plasticizer-free 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 (see "Relative Chemical Resistance Properties” chart on back of sheet), 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 (see "Comparative Peristaltic Pump Tubing Life” chart on back of sheet). Additional Benefits Tygon® Chemical Peristaltic Pump tubing complies with FDA 21 CFR, 177.1520 criteria and is applicable for food contact applications. 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.
