Excellent choicewhere
transparency andgood
chemical resistance is needed
TygonS3E-LFL tubing isavailable
in abroad rangeof sizes for use
throughout our pump product
line. Itsgoodchemical resistance
coupled with its durability makes it an excellent choice in those
applicationswhere longer-life tubing isdesired (i.e., where tubes are
not disposedof frequently).
Inmany cases, this tubing canwithstand systempressures that are in
excess ofmost peristaltic pumps’ abilities, providingbuilt-in safety
precautions for your systemflowpath.
