Tygon® XL-60-1

long life pump tubing for food and beverage applicationsSuperior Performance in Peristaltic Pumps Designed specifically for use in peristaltic pump applications, Tygon® XL-60 tubing maintains a pump life of over 500 hours. With a durometer hardness of Shore A 60, it is extremely flexible and exhibits superior flex life, reducing downtime due to pump tubing failure (see "Comparative Peristaltic Pump Tubing Life” on the following page). Tygon® XL-60 tubing can be considered an alternative to silicones and PVC when longer pump tubing life is required. Tygon® XL-60 tubing is translucent in color and has excellent chemical resistance to a wide range of fluids, including acids and bases. It also exhibits excellent resistance to ozone, oxygen and sunlight aging. Tygon® XL-60 tubing remains flexible at -40°F and is temperature resistant up to 250°F. Tubing materials used for food and beverage transfer are not totally inert; hence there may be physical and chemical interactions with the food product, which play a decisive role in the selection of the tubing material. The nature of these interactions includes permeation of gases and vapours across the tubing, migration of tubing components into the food, and sorption of food components. These interactions can give rise to odours and degradation reactions in both the food and the tubing. • Long flex life in peristaltic pumps • Custom colors available Regulatory Compliance * For complete compliance information and appropriate use instructions, please refer to the detailed document of SAINT-GOBAIN Making a material impact around the world
