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

Cole-Parmer TPE Tubing, Black, 1/2" ID x 5/8" OD; 25 Ft
Cole-Parmer TPE tubing is a high-performance industrial tubing manufactured from a thermoplastic elastomeric compound that consistently outperforms neoprene, EPDM and other general purpose rubber tubing. The Cole-Parmer TPE tubing features an extended service life in a wide range of applications including caustic chemical transfer, wastewater sampling, soap and disinfectant dispensing, vacuum pumps, glass and window washing systems and more. This tubing is opaque black, allowing for light and ozone resistance without weakening or cracking, and can withstand extreme temperatures from -75°F to 275°F (-60 to 135°C).
AVANTOR MASTERFLEX (VWR LLC) Masterflex I/P Precision Pump Tubing, Peroxide-Cured Silicone, I/P 82; 25 ft
Masterflex peroxide-cured silicone High-Performance Precision pump tubing features greater physical compression capability with a longer pumping life compared to platinum-cured silicone tubing. Translucent tubing is made with no additives or plasticizers and makes for easy flow monitoring. Ideal for general-purpose, biotech, and food and beverage applications, this tubing complies with USP Class VI, FDA, and 3-A standards.
Chemglass Life Sciences Tubing, Silicone, Peroxide-Cured Silcon, Size 16, 1/8" ID x 1/4" OD x 1/16" Wall Thickness x 50' Long
Peroxide-cured Silicone Tubing is designed for use in applications where flexibility, resiliency and durability are required.Its inner smooth surface reduces the risk of particulate entrapment and microscopic buildup during fluid transfer. Tubing is FDA food grade compliant, entirely non-toxic, non-hemolytic and non-pyrogenic.It also meets 3-A Sanitary Standards, FDA 21 CFR Part 177. 2600 Criteria and NSF 51 Standard.Withstands temperature extremes from -100F to 500F (350F maximum for NSF applications). May be low pressure steam sterilized in-line or autoclaved at up to 121C in a normal autoclaving cycle.May be sterilized repeatedly but if tubing becomes relaxed or gummy it should be replaced.Sold in standard lengths of 50ft.
