What Can Tygon Tubing Be Used For?

Tygon tubing is widely used across industries for fluid transfer, dispensing, and laboratory applications due to its flexibility and chemical resistance. It plays a crucial role in food and beverage processing, medical devices, chemical handling, and industrial equipment, ensuring safe and efficient liquid transport. Specific uses include peristaltic pumps, IV solutions, aseptic filling, chemical dispensing, and fuel lines, making it a versatile choice for various demanding applications.

Applications For Tygon Tubing

Tygon manufactures a wide variety of tubing. See below all the applications Tygon tubing can be used for.

Tygon manufactures food grade tubing for transferring food products such as juices, water, and dairy products. These tubing comply with all food-safety regulations. 

Tygon manufactures many models of tubing that have chemical resistance. This makes their tubing great for transferring solvents, acids, and bases within the chemical industries. 

Tygon tubing is commonly used in medical industries. Since many Tygon models of tubing are biocompatible and sanitary they are perfect for applications such as dialysis, intravenous, oxygen, and peristaltic pumps.

With many models of Tygon tubing being compatible with gas transfer, fuel and lubricant transfer, ad vacuum applications, it performs excellent in the demands of the automotive industries.

Tygon tubing is widely used in environmental industries for water and air sampling, chemical handling, and laboratory testing due to its flexibility, durability, and resistance to chemicals and abrasion. It ensures safe, accurate transport of fluids and gases, making it ideal for maintaining sample integrity in environmental analysis and remediation applications.

With strong durability and a variety of Tygon tubing being liquid and gas transfer compatible, it makes Tygon tubing well suited for industrial applications. Whether it’s transfering lubricants, various gasses, fuels, or waste, Tygon tubing is a popular tubing chose for industrial applications.

Tygon tubing is very flexible, chemical resistant, and durable. This makes it perfectly suited for uses with peristaltic pumps.

With many models being plasticizer-free, Tygon tubing can be used to transfer gases and chemicals without issue in semiconductor manufacturing processes.

With its tubing being compatible with gas transfer, peristatic pumps, and vacuum applications, Tygon tubing is highly favoured in laboratories.

Tygon tubing is sanitary, chemical resistant, contamination free, non-toxic, and resistant to degradation making it the perfect choice for pharmaceutical and biotech industries.

What Materials Are Used For Tygon Tubing?

When it comes to choosing the right Tygon tubing there are factors to be considered. Such as the fluids being used, flexibility temperature, pressure, and the industry’s needs. Each Tygon tubing formula is manufactured with specific processes in mind. Such as for chemical transfer, medical devices, or food and beverage. Other factors that should be considered are transparency, hardness, and duty cycle. 

How To Choose The Right Tygon Tubing?

Tygon tubing is manufactured by Saint-Gobain.

Tygon® tubing is engineered for exceptional durability, making it ideal for harsh chemical dispensing applications. Its high-performance, co-extruded design ensures long-lasting chemical resistance, reducing wear and extending the lifespan of pumps.

Many Tygon tubing types are designed for demanding use, resistance to compression, spallation (shedding of particles), and fatigue strength. So under standard operating conditions, the service life of Tygon tubing can reach more than 1000 hours.
