		Working temperature range 500° F (260° C) to -454° F (270° C)
		Easy pour top and bottom emptying device.
		Chemically Resistant (all common solvents, acids and bases)
		Excellent Dielectric Insulation Properties
		Biocompatible - USP Class VI approved
		FDA approved raw material
		Flame resistant: UL 94 VO
		Limiting oxygen index greater than 95
		Exceptional mechanical resistance under severe conditions

Silicone Tubing:

The perfect tubing for tubing projects with extreme tempertures and for Peristaltic Pumps

The most outstanding property of silicone tubing is its resistance to temperature extremes. This, plus its good electrical properties and ability to self-extinguish, makes silicon tubing an excellent choice for appliances and computers. silicon tubing has a U.L. rating of UL94HB. Peroxide-cured silicon tubing contains no sulfur or other acid-producing chemicals, which eliminates the possibility of staining, corroding, or deteriorating materials it contacts.

Silicon tubing may be low-pressure steam sterilized inline or autoclaved at up to 250°F in a normal autoclaving cycle. However, if exposed to repeated steam sterilization or long-term high temperature or pressure, silicone will eventually relax, become gummy, and should be replaced.

NOTE: Care is recommended in the selection and application of fittings and clamps for silicon tubing. Sharp, barbed fittings or unlined metal clamps could tear into the tubing wall and cause possible failure.

Silicone Tubing Benefits

		Made from FDA-sanctioned ingredients
		Able to resist extreme temperature variation: -100°F to 500°F^
		Translucent natural color for visual contact with the flow
		Resilient, stretchable, and resistant to compression set
		Odorless, tasteless, and inert
		Good electrical and weatherability properties - resists U.V., ozone, gases, and moisture
		Listed by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF 51)^
		100% incineration approved by Scientific Ecology Group (S.E.G.)

Polyethylene Water Tubing or Poly Tubing:
Low Density Polyethylene Tubing

Polyethylene is produced from 100%, low-density polyethylene resin. PE is a chemically inert, non-contaminating translucent tube that meets FDA standards, making it an ideal choice for laboratory, hospital, food and beverage applications. PE's exceptional stability, long life and resistance to corrosion make it well suited for use with pneumatic controls, instrumentation and hydraulic applications. TPI offers Polyethylene in two formulations -- Low Density, and Linear Low Density.

Polyethylene tubing is available in milky white or translucent color with additional colors available by special order (Call 1-800-739-7706)

Polyethylene tubing is available in strippable, twin and multiple-bore configurations which reduce installation time and encourage the production of neat layouts in multiline systems.

Polyethylene tubing is also available as a co-extruded liner material in applications where additional flexibility is required without sacrificing inertness.

Polyethylene tubing features

		Produced from virgin, low-density polyethylene resin
		Five brilliant hues: red, yellow, orange, green and blue.(Also available in black, white and natural.)
		Superior working pressure to EVA and Flex PVC
		Mirror-like smooth interior surface resulting in higher flow rate
		Strippable, twin and multiple-bore configurations available
		Specialty tinting available

Vinyl Tubing:

Vinyl tubing is a clear flexible tubing providing an economical means of fluid transfer in a variety of applications. Intermittent exposure to hydrocarbons, such as gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, etc. will cause premature hardening and failure of the tubing.

Reinforced vinyl tubing offers the same qualities as clear vinyl tubing in flexibility and corrosion resistance along with the higher pressure rating provided with the inner braid. The media is also still visible between the braids, which are integral to the tubing.

Vinyl tubing is relatively inexpensive on a per-foot cost of tubing. It only has a third of the service life of silicone tubing, 50 hr at 600 rpm and 275 hr at 100 rpm. Vinyl tubing cannot be autoclaved and should not be exposed to temperatures above 80°C.
