Tygon tubing is manufactured using multiple formulations, utilizing materials such as silicone, PVC, polyurethane, fluoropolymers, thermoplastic elastomers, and other advanced compounds.
Tygon manufactures many formulas of tubing for different applications these are the most common materials they use.
PVC tubing is made of polyvinyl chloride. It can provide chemical resistance, durability, and rigidity.
Silicone tubing is made from silicone rubber. It provides flexibility, durability, and chemical and heat resistance.
Thermoplastic elastomers combine the flexibility of rubber with the processability of plastics. They act like rubber at room temperature but can be molded using standard plastic techniques like injection molding and extrusion when heated.
Fluoropolymers are fluorocarbon polymers with strong bonds between carbon and fluorine. They have strong chemical resistance and non-stick properties.
Each material used in Tygon tubing formulas have specific benefits. Use this to help find the right Tygon tubing for the application.
PVC tubing is a lightweight, cost-effective, and durable option that resists corrosion and chemicals, making it ideal for a wide range of applications. Its ease of installation, low maintenance, and availability in food-grade options add to its versatility and long-term value.
Silicone tubing is a durable, flexible, and chemically resistant material that performs well under extreme temperatures and UV exposure. Its non-toxic, biocompatible nature and ease of cleaning make it ideal for medical, food-grade, and industrial applications, offering long-term value despite a higher initial cost.
Thermoplastic elastomer tubing offers excellent flexibility, durability, and chemical resistance, making it ideal for medical, industrial, and food-related applications. It is easy to process, cost-effective, latex-free, and recyclable, with the added benefits of being sterilizable, colorable, and suitable for complex designs.
Fluoropolymer tubing is valued for its exceptional chemical resistance, high temperature tolerance, non-stick surface, and low friction, making it ideal for demanding applications. Its durability, flexibility, and insulating properties further enhance its suitability for use in industrial, food, and electrical systems.
