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

Translucent tubing ideal for biotechnological, pharmaceutical, and peristaltic applications. Ultrasmooth inner bore reduces risk of particle entrapment, inhibits microscopic bacterial buildup during fluid transfer, and allows thorough cleaning and sterilization.Tasteless, odorless, Nonpyrogenic, nontoxic, nonhemolytic. Low extractable content helps to maintain integrity and purity of transported fluidsSmooth inner surface provides low adsorption for improved fluid flow (hydrophobic surface also improves fluid flow)Maximum recommended operating temperature 200°C (392°F)Autoclavable; also can be radiation- and gas-sterilizedDurometer hardness: Shore A, 50. Not intended for use as an implant material.
