What are the Different Types of Tygon® Tubing?
Tygon® Tubing is a flexible plastic polymer tubing with various formulations that contain different chemical and physical properties. Tygon® tubing is resistant to most inorganic chemicals and resistant to cracking and aging. Therefore, it has a longer lifespan than rubber tubing. This non-oxidizing tubing is less permeable than rubber tubing and will not contaminate fluid as it passes through the tubing. At Component Supply, we offer four different types of Tygon® tubing: E-3603, B-44-3, ND100-65, and ND100-80. Tygon® tubing is used in many industries, including food and beverage, chemical processing, laboratory, medical, and pharmaceutical.
