This clear plastic tubing is made of Tygon formulation SE-200 polyvinyl chloride (PVC) with a fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) lining and is inert to resist chemicals and corrosives when transferring fluids in pharmaceutical, manufacturing, and laboratory applications. The crystal clear tubing provides unobstructed visual monitoring of flow. The Tygon formulation SE-200 polyvinyl chloride (PVC) offers strength and corrosion and chemical resistance. The tubing has a lining made of fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) to allow it to safely transfer chemicals, alcohols, and ketones, including methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). The inert tubing also does not transmit odors and flavors to further preserve fluid integrity. The tubing has a working temperature range of -40 to 170 degrees F, a durometer (hardness) of 67A, and working pressure ratings that vary by tube size. This plastic tubing is rated as very flexible as it bends more easily than flexible or rigid tubing. It meets U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 21 CFR 177.1550 criteria for food contact for quality assurance. The plastic tubing is not designed for use in vacuum applications, but it is suitable for prolonged use in the transfer of chemicals, paints, solvents, fertilizers, pesticides, adhesives, inks, and beverages, and for photographic, pharmaceutical, and semiconductor processing applications, among others.

Plastic tubing is used to transfer liquids, air, or solids, and it is characterized by a round, rectangular, or square shape and a hollow center. Plastic tubing is crimp-resistant and varies in bend radius (flexibility), chemical resistance, wall thickness, durometer hardness, and temperature and pressure handling abilities. The clarity of plastic tubing may be transparent (clear), translucent (semi-clear), or opaque (solid), and the tubing's coloring may indicate suitable applications. Barbed fittings are used to connect tubing or redirect flow in a fluid handling system. Plastic tubing is used in a wide variety of industries, such as agriculture, automotive, laboratory, and medicine. Applications for plastic tubing include blood and fluid handling, peristaltic pumps, electrical and thermal insulation, analytical systems, and food and beverage handling, among others.

Saint-Gobain Corporation manufactures plastic tubing for the food and beverage, chemical processing, industrial, laboratory, medical, pharmaceutical, and semiconductor processing industries under the Tygon brand in the Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics sector. Founded in 1665, the company is headquartered in Courbevoie, France, and operates 45 plastics manufacturing sites worldwide.
