Plastic Tubing
Plastic tubing of various lengths and bores constructed of materials suitable for general laboratory, biopharmaceutical, food and beverage, medical, vacuum, low-pressure, high-pressure, cleanroom or environmental applications. Products may be chemical- or corrosion-resistant. Formulated for resistance to flex fatigue and abrasion, plastic tubing is more flexible and less permeable than rubber tubing.
How Is Plastic Tubing Used?
Flexible plastic tubing may be used as transfer lines for contamination fluid control, hydraulics, protective jacketing, vacuum pump and diaphragm pump feeds and discharges, refrigeration, water and fluid lines, food and beverage, instrumentation, research laboratories, agriculture, material handling, air and gas lines, chemical lines and pharmaceuticals.
Types of Plastic Tubing:
• PVC: lightweight and flexible, will retain its bore on bending and can be sterilized up to 121°C
• Silicone: ideal where a hard-wearing material is needed, including transfer of liquids or higher temperature environments
• LDPE: good for general low pressure and temperature, instrumentation, corrosive atmosphere, and food processing
• PTFE: has excellent chemical-resistant and temperature-resistant properties
• PE: flexible, lightweight, durable, and corrosion resistant, used for a wide range of liquid, gas, and fluid transfer applications
• FEP: clear, small-diameter tubing, the economical choice for chemical resistance and broad temperature exposure
• PEEK: high-performance polymer with mechanical and chemical resistance, and highly resistant to thermal degradation
Med Vet International Dynarex Etco2 Nasal Sampling Cannula, 7' (2.1 M) Tubing w/Male Luer, Adult/Universal 02 Tubing Connector, 25/Case
Dynarex Resp-O2 EtCO2 Nasal Sampling Cannulas with Cushion Nasal Tips are designed to help monitor exhaled carbon dioxide during respiratory treatment. Each soft, cushioned cannula features a permanent barrier between the nasal prongs so that EtCO2 can be sampled from one nostril while oxygen continues to flow to the other nostril. Permanent barrier between nasal prongs allows for EtCO2 sampling with uninterrupted oxygen delivery Constructed from soft materials for added patient comfort Crush-resistant tubing helps prevent occlusion and kinking Features EtCO2 sampling line and O2 tubing of equal length Transparent design allows for clear visualization Not made with natural rubber latex or DEHP
