Long Life Pump Tubing for Food and Beverage Applications Superior 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 back). 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. • EHP free D • Long flex life in peristaltic pumps • emperature resistant T up to 250°F (121°C) • Low extractables • lternative to PVC A • lear and flexible C • ustom colors available C Regulatory Compliance* 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. Excellent Physical Properties Tygon ® XL-60 tubing was subjected to a migration study with food simulants and the Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis showed that under normal use it does not impart an unwanted taste or odour to the food or beverage being transferred. * For complete compliance information and appropriate use instructions, please refer to the detailed document of compliance. ** Only US manufacturing sites are NSF compliant.

Part Number Vacuum Rating * Working pressures are calculated at a 1:5 ratio relative to burst pressure using ASTM D1599. Typical Physical Properties ASTM Value Durometer Hardness, Shore A, 15s Unless otherwise noted, all tests were conducted at room temperature 73°F. Values shown were determined on 0.075" thick extruded strip, 0.075"thick molded ASTM plaques or molded ASTM durometer buttons. * Values based on static oven test at 0 psi.
