Saint-Gobain Norton® Tygon® R-3603 Laboratory and Vacuum Tubing Formulation  (discontinued **)
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic

Material Notes: Replaced by Tygon® S3 E-3603. Description: Tygon® R-3603: Crystal-clear and flexible, Tygon® Laboratory Tubing handles virtually all inorganic chemicals found in the lab. It is non-oxidizing and non-contaminating. Long-lasting and crack-resistant, Tygon® Laboratory Tubing is less permeable than rubber tubing. The glassy-smooth inner bore helps prevent buildup so that cleaning is facilitated. Coils are marked at 1-foot intervals for easy measuring. Autoclavable. Remains flexible at -45°F (-43°C). Durometer hardness: Shore A, 55.

Features/Benefits:
  • Outstanding chemical resistance
  • Lot-to-lot consistency for reproducible results
  • Increases productivity in peristaltic pumps -- outlasts other clear tubing 2 to 1
  • Standard sizes available to hold full vacuum at room temperature
  • Smooth, polished inner wall
  • Non-aging and non-oxidizing
  • Meets FDA CFR Part 175.300 Criteria
Typical applications include General Laboratory, Analytical Instruments, Peristaltic and Vacuum Pumps, Ideal for Condensers, Incubators, Desiccators, Gas Lines and Drain Lines.
