Phthalate-free tubing uses a safe, effective plasticizer derived from plant extracts and avoids the risks and liabilities associated with phthalate-based products.
Consider the advantages of the following phthalate-free Masterflex® tubing:
Tygon® E-Lab (E-3603)
- Inexpensive for general lab applications
- Clear for easy flow monitoring
- Handles virtually all inorganic chemicals
- Nonaging, nonoxidizing
- Low gas permeability
- Excellent for viscous fluids
- High dielectric constant
Limitation: potential leaching of plasticizer
Tygon® E-LFL
- Longest life of all Tygon peristaltic tubing (up to 1000 hrs)
- Clear for easy flow monitoring
- Broad chemical resistance
- Nonaging, nonoxidizing
- Low gas permeability
- Smooth bore
- Excellent for viscous fluids
- High dielectric constant
Limitation: potential leaching of plasticizer
Tygon® E-Food (B-44-4X)
- Inexpensive tubing for food and laboratory applications
- Clear for easy flow monitoring
- Handles virtually all inorganic chemicals
- Nonaging, nonoxidizing
- Low gas permeability
- Excellent for viscous fluids
- High dielectric constant
Limitation: limited pump life
