Lab Glassware, Supplies, Containers, and Packaging

PVC Tubing is made from non-toxic ingredients conforming to FDA and 3A standards. The PVC compound meets USP Class VI requirements and is listed by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF 51). The glass-like clarity with mirror-smooth surface provides outstanding flow characteristics and does not impart a taste or odor. In clean applications, the smooth surface prevents lodging of bacteria and sediment buildup. It is easily drained and flushed clean with most available cleaning and sanitizing agents. May be autoclaved at 20 lbs. steam pressure for 15 minutes. These tubes are lightweight yet tough and abrasion resistant and as flexible as rubber. They handle a wide variety of chemicals, gases, and liquids. Corrosion and abrasion resistant with flexibility similar to rubber but with much longer life, they are generally unaffected by most oxidizing and reducing agents, though if highly concentrated tend to make the hose less pliable. If chemical resistance is of major question, in-plant tests are suggested.
