Superior Performance in Peristaltic Pumps
Designed specifically for use in peristaltic pump applications, Tygoprene® Pump Tubing maintains a pump life of over 500 hours. With a durometer hardness of Shore A 60, it is extremely flexible and exhibits superior flex life, reducing downtime due to pump tubing failure (see “Comparative Peristaltic Pump Tubing Life” chart on back of page). Tygoprene® Pump Tubing can be considered an alternative to silicones and PVC when longer pump tubing life is required.
Excellent Physical Properties
Tygoprene® Pump Tubing is translucent in color and has excellent chemical resistance to a wide range of fluids, including acids and bases. It also exhibits excellent resistance to ozone, oxygen and sunlight aging. Tygoprene® Pump Tubing remains flexible at - 40°F and is temperature resistant up to 250°F. Tygoprene® Pump Tubing complies with FDA 21 CFR, 177. 1210 criteria, which are applicable for food contact applications, and is NSF listed under standard 51. It has also passed the UL 94-HB flammability resistance classification.
Low Extractables
Tygoprene® Pump Tubing has low extractables, greatly reducing the risk of fluid contamination in applications such as ink transfer. It does not impart taste to fluids being transferred, making it an ideal choice for food and beverage applications.
