Thermoplastic Processes Expands Flexible PVC Tubing Line

Aug. 23, 2011 - PRLog -- Thermoplastic Processes, manufacturer of Excelon PVC Tubing, recently announced the expansion of its Flexible PVC Tubing product line with the introduction of Excelon Laboratory and Vacuum Tubing, a direct equivalent in high quality production to Tygon R3603.

Excelon Laboratory and Vacuum Tubing is an alternative product for distributor and manufacturer customers who require the R3603 formulation for the transfer of liquids and gases. In addition to providing the same product functionality, the Excelon product costs on average 30% less than the Tygon brand. Thermo focuses on delivering quality products with competitive pricing and a strong focus on customer service. The range of products available from Thermo, manufactured in the U.S., allows the company to pass cost savings on to customers across all product categories, particularly within high demand PVC tubing product lines.

Excelon Laboratory and Vacuum Tubing will be available from stock in the full range of standard sizes as well as in metric and heavy wall specifications for use as vacuum tubing. Like Tygon R3603, Excelon Laboratory tubing is specifically designed to withstand a full vacuum rating (29.9” Hg) at room temperature and up to 27” Hg at 140o  F. In addition, Thermo satisfies a diverse range of customer needs by also offering non stock customer requirements and the sales department is available to provide pricing and availability.

“Our engineers developed this new line of PVC tubing with its proprietary formula to give our customers a high quality product they can afford and depend on to meet their liquid and gas transfer requirements. It is a direct equivalent to Tygon R3603 and will withstand any tests the market might suggest,” states Joe Raborn General Manager for Thermo.

Crystal clear, highly flexible (55 Shore A Durometer) tubing is relied on for use in the transfer of liquids and gases in most of today’s laboratory applications. An excellent alternative to latex and more cost-effective than silicone tubing, Excelon Laboratory tubing is ideal for use in peristaltic pumps and other medical devices, and meets FDA CFR 21, Part 175.300 criteria. Excleon Laboratory Tubing is also well suited for use in paint, pigment and soap dispensing applications. Laboratory tubing will withstand autoclaving and repeated gamma sterilization. The smooth as glass inner bore prevents any build-up, making clean-up and changeovers a snap.  
Excelon Laboratory and Vacuum Tubing is an accepted alternative to Flex Tubing Products ClearFlex60, Nalgene 180 and Tygon R3603.
