Translucent Tygon Tygoprene Tubing, 1/8" ID, 1/4" OD, 1/16" Wall, 25' Length

Translucent Tygon Tygoprene Tubing, 1/8" ID, 1/4" OD, 1/16" Wall, 25' Length Review



This tubing was designed specifically for peristaltic pump applications and has a pump life over 500 hours. It is extremely flexible and exhibits superior flex life, reducing downtime due to tubing failure. Tygoprene can also be used as a substitute to silicone and PVC where longer pump life is required. Tygoprene tubing is translucent and has excellent chemical resistance to a wide range of fluids including acids and bases. This tubing remains flexible at -40 F and is temperature resistant to 250 F. Tygoprene pump tubing complies with FDA CFR 2:1,177.12:10 criteria for food contact applications; is NSF listed under standard 51 and has also passed the UL 94-HB flammability resistance classification. Tygoprene tubing has low extractable making it ideal for applications like ink transfer, soap and detergent delivery. It also does not impart taste to fluids making it an excellent choice for cold or hot beverage delivery and food transfer. It is also used for general chemical transfer and laboratory applications requiring long pump life and/or low extractable.

White SiliconeTubing, 3/8"ID, 1/2"OD, 1/16" Wall, 10' Length

White SiliconeTubing, 3/8"ID, 1/2"OD, 1/16" Wall, 10' Length Review



Silicone rubber is able to resist extreme temperature variances, from -150 Deg F to 500 Deg F (-101C to 260C), and has a natural translucent color for visual flow. Resists U.V. ozone gases, moisture and temperature. Resilient, stretchable and resistant to compression set and is odorless, tasteless and inert. Silicone is extremely resistant to ozone and corona concentration over long time periods. It also has good electrical properties, along with the ability to self-extinguish typically within 3 -8 seconds, making silicone an excellent choice for appliance and computer applications. It contains no sulphur or other acid-producing chemicals so it does not cause staining, corrosion or deterioration of other materials it contacts. Standard barbed fittings and lined hose clamps are recommended for most applications. Durometer reading: 50A.

Clear Polycarbonate Tubing, 5/8" ID, 3/4" OD, 1/16" Wall, 36" Length

Clear Polycarbonate Tubing, 5/8" ID, 3/4" OD, 1/16" Wall, 36" Length Review



Polycarbonate is a transparent high molecular weight, linear, low-crystalline plastic. It is generally sought out for its very high impact resistance which approaches 30 times that of safety glass. Light transmittance is 90 percent. In addition to being a very hard plastic, it has a very high modulus of elasticity making it resistant to creep; it has excellent electrical resistivity, and an operating temperature range of -275 F to 250 F. It is generally unaffected by greases, oils and acids. Hardness is 112-125 Rockwell R (73-78 M Scale). Heat deflection temperature is 275-285 Degrees F at 264 PSI. Easily fabricated by machining, drilling, and sawing with a low likelihood of cracking or chipping. Solvent resistance is poor but polycarbonate is easily bonded. Prolonged exposure to solvents with the material under stress will result in crazing and cracking.
