Tygon® R-1000 Ultra Soft Tubing
TYGON® R-1000 Ultra-Soft Tubing is an extremely soft and flexible tubing that offers minimal resistance to compression. Extremely flexible, Tygon® Ultra-Soft Tubing is the solution to applications
requiring maximum drapeability and kink resistance. Even under laboratory
set-ups with abrupt radius curves and multiple directional changes, Tygon®
Ultra-Soft Tubing resists twisting and collapse — common problems when
using other tubing products. Tygon® Ultra-Soft Tubing stays flexible at
temperatures as low as -100˚F (-73˚C). Its smooth bore facilitates easy cleaning
and helps prevent possible buildup.
The Preferred Tubing in Low-Torque Peristaltic Pumps
The extremely low durometer of Tygon® Ultra-Soft Tubing provides minimal
resistance to compression. This feature is ideal when using low-torque or
battery-driven peristaltic pumps and provides an excellent alternative to
silicone tubing where corrosive chemicals are used. Tygon® Ultra-Soft Tubing
will typically outlast silicone tubing in peristaltic pump applications by a
margin of 2 to 1.
