Versatile, High-Performance
Tubing
Tygon® Beverage
Tubing is specially formulated for transferring a
wide variety of beverages including soft drinks,
fruit juices, flavored teas and bottled water. In
virtually all cases, Tygon® Beverage Tubing will not
affect the taste or odor of product transferred
through it, while its excellent non-wetting
properties facilitate complete drainage and permit
simple flush-cleaning. Many of the unique properties
inherent to Tygon® Beverage Tubing also apply to a
wide variety of complex applications, ranging from
fine cosmetic production to the dispensing of
water-based printing inks found in the publishing
industry. The versatility and proven performance of
Tygon® Beverage Tubing have made it today’s most
widely specified clear, flexible plastic tubing.
Lightweight and Flexible
Light in weight and
easy to handle, Tygon® Beverage Tubing can be put
into service quickly. It readily bends to
accommodate abrupt corners and obstructions,
requiring a minimum of couplings and fittings.
Its flexibility can save up to one-third the footage
and much of the labor required to install rigid
stainless steel or plastic piping.
Clear as Glass
The glass-like
clarity of Tygon® Beverage Tubing allows the user to
see product flow through it so visual monitoring of
flow is easy. This is particularly helpful in
controlling or adjusting flow during processing.
Meets FDA, NSF and 3-A Criteria
Non-toxic, taste-free
and odor-free, Tygon® Beverage Tubing meets
applicable regulatory standards for contact with
food products. Tygon® Beverage Tubing is NSF listed
under Standard 51. This standard covers plastic
materials and components for use in food and
beverage processing and dispensing equipment. It
also meets FDA CFR Part 175.300 and 3-A Plastics
Standard Criteria for use in handling foods and
beverages
44 Different Sizes Available
