Designed to Resist
Hydrocarbons
Specifically designed
to handle most fuels and industrial lubricants,
Tygon® Fuel and Lubricant Tubing resists the
swelling and hardening caused by hydrocarbon-based
fluids. This significantly reduces the risk of
failure due to cracking and leakage. Its minimum
extractability safeguards the liquid or vapor being
transferred against adulteration.
Because it’s
extremely flexible, Tygon® Fuel and Lubricant Tubing
simplifies installation, even in tight places. It is
translucent yellow for positive identification and
to allow easy flow monitoring. It is routinely used
to handle gasoline, kerosene, heating oils, cutting
compounds and glycol-based coolants.
Long flex life pump tubing formulated
specifically for use in peristaltic pump
applications.
Low Rate of Permeation
In-house testing of
Tygon® Fuel and Lubricant Tubing has shown it to
have a lower rate of permeation than competitive
tubings. Reduced levels of permeation may limit
alteration and loss of fuels critical to today’s
high performance engines.
Routinely Specified in
Fuel and Lubricant Applications
A consistent
performer lot after lot, Tygon® Fuel and Lubricant
Tubing is the most requested fuel and lubricant
tubing for a variety of applications -
from small engine fuel lines to coolant transfer.
