Dual-layered tubingmaterial
XX
Pairs chemical resistance and
long-life
TygonMHLL is a unique tubing
material, comprised of an
inner layer of Tygon MH and
an outer layer of PharMed
®
.
This combination helps ensure
excellent chemical resistance
(except for hydrocarbons and
strongketones)aswellas longservice life. AvailableasStopperTubing
for usewithMS/CAcassettes.
Additionally, thismaterial offers both FDA approval aswell as USP
ClassVI approval,making it amaterial of choice formoredemanding
life-scienceapplications.

TygonHCF-4040-ATubing
XX
Specially formulated
for hydrocarbon-based
applications
XX
Features lowgas permeability
andgoodpressure resistance
Tygon F-4040-A tubing has
been specially-formulated for
use in petroleum (and similar)
applications where other Tygon
blends cannot beused successfully. Thematerial offers someof the
lowest gaspermeability rates for atmosphericgases of all theTygon
blends,making it ideal for use in thoseapplicationswhere sensitivity
togaspermeation ishighorwhere vacuummaybeapplied.
Inaddition tobeingsuitable forhydrocarbon-basedapplications, this
material can alsobeused successfullywith low-concentration acidic
solutions aswell asmineral salt solutions.
Yellow-tinted, thematerialofferssomedegreeoftranslucency,however,
it isnot as transparent asmanyother Tygonblends.
