Tygon
® UV Resistant Tubing will meet UL 94V-0
and UL 94HB flammability ratings.


UV Resistant Formulation R-3400

Features/Benefits

  • Black in color, protects light-sensitive fluids
  • Wide range of chemical resistance
  • Excellent burn resistance
  • Ozone and UV light resistant
  • Low compression set; resists permanent deformation
  • Available in clear formulation for fluid flow monitoring

Typical Applications

  • Corrosive diffusible gases
  • Acid and caustic transfer
  • Fertilizer and pesticide dispensing
  • Electrical insulation lines
  • Ink and adhesive dispensing
  • General maintenance

 

Versatility in Chemical Resistance
Ideal for virtually any permanent or temporary chemical transfer application, Tygon
® UV Resistant Tubing combines suppleness and flexibility with resistance to a wide range of chemicals. It shows exceptional resistance to strong acids and many alkalies.

The flexibility of Tygon®
UV Resistant Tubing makes it quick and easy to put into service, providing considerable savings on installation time and cost.

Outstanding Weatherability
Black in color, is is resistant to ultraviolet light, ozone and weathering, making it ideal for many outdoor applications. Standard inventoried sizes of Tygon® UV Resistant Tubing have sufficient wall thickness to block transmission of all UV light.

Excellent Burn Resistance
Tygon
® UV Resistant Tubing will meet UL 94V-0 and UL 94HB flammability ratings. Specifying Tygon® UV Resistant Tubing for use in equipment that requires specific burn characteristics can help to simplify the approval process.
