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 C-Flex 374 TPE Tubing, 1/8" ID x 1/4" OD; 50 Ft
Excellent heat seal and sterile weld capabilities make it ideal for biopharma applications
Easily meet the critical demands of pharmaceutical and biopharma applications with C-Flex TPE tubing. This moldable and bondable tubing is specifically designed for aseptic welding connections and sealing disconnection; seal or weld before or after sterilization depending on your application requirements.
Excellent flexibility and durability offer prolonged service life in peristaltic pumps and help minimize downtime due to tubing failures. The low permeability characteristics protects sensitive fluids from gas ingress. Translucent tubing enables visual monitoring of the flow, so you can control or adjust the flow during the process.

Accuflow Systems Altafluor 100 PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) - 100 PTFE 1/16"" X 1/8"" - 50 FT
Altafluor 100 PTFE was the original TEFLON material developed by E.I.DUPONT CO. PTFE is the most flexiible of all fluoropolymers offered. It has the broadest temperature range of any fluoropolymer and can resist highly corrosive liquids and gases even at elevated temperatures. The smooth surface finish and lowest coefficient of friction and lubricity make it ideal for bushing or bearing applications. Non-flammable. Non-toxic. FDA compliant -21 CFR 177.1550. Very low permeability. Altafluor 100 is compatible with most standard fittings (not suitable for use with flare-type fittings). Applications include use in laboratories, chemical processes, analytical and process equipment, crogenic, electrical, high temp and automotive. Manufactured from 100% virgin grade PTFE resins, it is the most flexible, is chemically inert and resistant to nearly all industrial chemicals and solvents.
