Tygon® Silver Antimicrobial Tubing


Tygon® Silver Antimicrobial Tubing
Is Your Tubing Protected Against Microbes?

Microorganisms are living cells so small that most can only be seen with a microscope -- they are a type of microorganism found everywhere and include bacteria, fungi and algae. Growth of microbes on many materials can lead to foul odors, discoloration and formation of mildew and biofilm. In the case of tubing, microbes can contaminate the material being transferred, as well as degrade the tubing itself.

Antimicrobial Technology

Tygon® Silver Antimicrobial Tubing is formulated with a silver based compound on the inner surface at the point of fluid contact; the tubing outer surface can be treated in cases where bacterial buildup on the O.D. is a concern.
