Fluid Performance Pumpable Dry Cleaning Fluid Line & Solvent Recovery Tubing Description Made of a proprietary fluoroelastomer, Versilon™ F-5500-A tubing has both the physical and chemical characteristics that make it ideal for severe environments, such as dry cleaning fluid lines and solvent recovery systems, where other flexible tubes fail. Versilon™ F-5500-A tubing can be used in continuous service with temperatures as high as 400°F (204°C). Versilon™ F-5500-A tubing's opaque black color helps protect light-sensitive materials being transferred and will not prematurely crack and age when exposed to ozone, sun and weather. A food grade tubing formulation is available upon request. Reduced Outgassing Through a high temperature, time controlled, post-cure process, virtually all processing residuals are driven from Versilon" F-5500-A. This allows for use in applications where minimal outgassing is required. This condition can be desirable in numerous applications such as in the aerospace industry, where preventing contamination of highly sensitive instrumentation may be critical. Excellent Chemical Resistance Versilon™ F-5500-A tubing provides excellent resistance to corrosive chemicals, oils, fuels, solvents and most mineral acids. Versilon™ F-5500-A tubing is highly flexible and resilient, making it the ideal choice in peristaltic pumping of extremely corrosive materials. Refer to the "Effect of Chemical and Temperature Environments on Physical Properties" chart on the back for a listing of common chemicals and their relative effect on the physical properties of Versilon™ F-5500-A tubing.
