Tygon tubing is a brand of clear, flexible plastic tubing from Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics, creator of the first clear, flexible plastic tubing that has set the standard for quality, innovation and performance with their exceptional line of plastic tubing products. Recognized as an integral and vital component of countless fluid transport systems, Tygon plastic tubing delivers an uncompromising standard of consistent performance in a range of applications.
As I said last week in my post about Tygon tubing material, Tygon plastic tubing is offered in a broad range of formulations, each engineered to meet specific user needs including resistance to chemicals, temperature fluctuations and abrasion, as well as high purity and long service life.
All 11 Tygon plastic tubing formulations are noted to be flexible, but not all of them are clear. Tygon F-4040-A is translucent yellow for positive identification as a fuel and lubricant tubing, Tygon R-3400 is black in color to resist ultraviolet light, ozone and weathering, and Tygon Silver Antimicrobial tubing is formulated with a silver-based compound on the inner surface at the point of fluid contact to prevent bacterial buildup.
The clear, flexible plastic Tygon tubing formulations are:
- Tygon R-3603 tubing for general laboratory and vacuum purposes
- Tygon B-44-3 beverage tubing
- Tygon B-44-4X food, milk and dairy tubing
- Tygon LFL long flex life peristaltic pump tubing
- Tygon R-1000 ultra soft tubing
- Tygon S-50-HL medical and surgical tubing
- Tygon S-54-HL microbore tubing
- Tygon SE-200 inert tubing
