Tygon® (R-3603) Tubing as supplied by Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics delivers an uncompromising standard of consistent performance.  Tygon® tubing has become the standard by which all flexible tubing is judged.  Weather your need for flexible tubing involves pharmaceutical, medical, laboratory, food or beverage applications; requires temperature, abrasion, chemical or permeation resistance: or necessitates a pure, sterile or inert environment, there is a Tygon® formulation proven to enhance user performance and increase overall productivity.  By providing a broad range of Tygon® tubing products, each engineered to meet specific user needs, you can choose a Tygon® formulation that provides the best possible value in use.

Tygon® Laboratory Tubing (Formulation R-3603) or Vacuum Tubing with thicker wall:

• Outstanding chemical resistance
• Lot-to-Lot consistency for reproducible results
• Increases productivity in peristaltic pumps-outlasts other clear tubing 2 to 1
• Ideal ofr condensers, incubators, desiccators, gas lines and drain lines
• Excellent clarity fo visual inspection
• Will not crack and age like rubber tubing
• Thicker wall vacuum tubing holds full vacuum at room temperature

Tygon® Laboratory Tubing is crystal-clear and flexible and handles virtually all inorganic chemicals found in the lab.  It is non-oxidizing and non-contaminating.  Long-lasting and crack-resistant, Tygon® Laboratory Tubing is less permeable than rubber tubing.  The glassy-smooth inner bore helps prevent buildup so that cleaning is facilitated.  Coils are marked at 1-foot intervals for easy measuring.  Autoclavable.  Remains flexible at -45 degrees/F,   Durometer harness:  Shore A, 55.

Tygon® Vacuum Tubing has extra-heavy walls that will withstand a full vacuum at room temperature(29.9" of mercury at 73 degrees F and up to 27" of mercury at 140 degrees F.  Low vapor pressure(low outgassing) makes it suitable for vacuum applications down to 3 x 10(-2) mm Hg at 165 degrees F.  Ideal for anaytical testing of gases or vapors.  Well-suited for us in making manometers.  Clarity allows monitoring for possible backups which could result in equpment damage.   Tygon® Vacuum Tubing will not swell closed if vacuum pump oil should back up into it.
