Characteristics

Process engineers and designers can specify any combination of molded assemblies . Sani-Tech® Sani-Link® molded assemblies are available for use with either STHT™-C non-reinforced silicone tubing or STHT™-R braid-reinforced silicone hose for elevated pressure applications. Sani-Tech® Sani-Link® molded assemblies can be sterilized by autoclave or gamma radiation and can withstand CIP and SIP procedures using the braid-reinforced silicone.

Biocompatibility

Sani-Tech® Sani-Link® molded assemblies are manufactured from the finest grade of silicone materials and is characterized, validated and tested to a variety of specifications including USP Class VI criteria, ISO 10993 and European Pharmacopoeia 3.1.9. For additional compliance data please review characterization information on the back page.

TYGON S3TM E-3603

The only choice for phthalate-free flexible tubing

Non-DEHP Tubing for Laboratory, Food & Beverage and Vacuum Applications

Saint-Gobain is proud to be among the first companies to offer sustainable, flexible tubing products. The bio-based Tygon S3 line combines high performance with an eco-friendly tubing design. Crystal clear and flexible, long-lasting and crack-resistant, Tygon S3 E-3603 non-DEHP tubing delivers the same superior performance you have come to expect, and in a formulation that contains a bio-based plasticizer.

Tygon S3™ E-3603 is manufactured under tightly controlled standards to ensure consistency and reduce variability in your application. It is non-toxic, noncontaminating, and the glassy-smooth inner bore helps prevent buildup and facilitates cleaning. Coils are marked at 1-foot (30.4 cm) intervals for easy measuring.

Engineered to Last

Tygon S3™ E-3603 Tubing is formulated to resist flex-fatigue and abrasion. As a tubing for instrumentation connection, vent, drain and other general laboratory applications, Tygon S3™ E-3603 Tubing offers superior life, which minimizes the labor and expense of replacement. It can be sterilized through conventional autoclave methods (steam 30 minutes at 15 psi, 121˚C) and ethylene oxide.

Available in Vacuum Tubing Sizes

Tygon S3™ E-3603 Vacuum Tubing has extra-heavy walls that will withstand a full vacuum at room temperature (29.9" [759 mm] of mercury at 73˚F [23˚C] and up to 27" [686 mm] of mercury at 140˚F [60˚C]). Like standard Tygon® Laboratory Tubing, Tygon S3 E-3603 Vacuum Tubing has good tensile and tear strength.
