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.

Features

  • Plasticizer-free inner bore
  • Formulated with a silver based compound on I.D. surface
  • O.D. surface can also be formulated with a silver based compound
  • Reduces formulation of biofilm and mildew
  • Inhibits growth of microbes
  • Will not discolor
  • Meets FDA criteria
  • Meets NSF 51 criteria

        Tygon® SE-200 Inert Tubing


        Tygon® Formulation SE-200 Tubing

        Without sacrificing the flexibility, glass-like clarity or outstanding bend radius for which Tygon® tubing is known, Tygon® Inert Tubing can handle many applications where flexible tubing of the past could not be used. Its FEP inner liner provides the ultimate in chemical resistance and can handle a wide variety of fluids from corrosives to MEK-based solvents. The liner is inert, meaning it will not extract or contaminate fluids being transferred. The fluid path will not impart odor or taste, making it well-suited for food and beverage use. It meets FDA criteria for food and beverage applications, as well as USP Class VI criteria for biocompatibility.

        Tygon® Inert Tubing combines all the benefits of Tygon® with the inertness of a fluoropolymer, providing superior performance in many applications and industries.


        Features

        • Crystal clear for easy visual flow monitoring
        • Better flexibility than typical rigid fluoropolymer tubings
        • Chemically resistant and inert
        • Non-contaminating fluid path
