Tygon S3TM E-LFL
Clear Peristaltic Pump Tubing

Features / Benefits• Longest flex life of any clear Tygon®
tubing, reduces downtime due to pumpfailure• Excellent for laboratory applications• Can be autoclaved — suitable for highpurity applications

Clear tubing ideal for peristaltic pumps
Tygon S3™ E-LFL clear peristaltic pump tubing is formulated specifically for use inperistaltic pump applications. It has superior pump life compared to other clear tubes
not only at 0 psi but also at back pressures up to 25 psi. Its unrivaled performance
reduces production downtime due to pump tubing failure in applications such as
bioprocessing, food dispensing or laboratory analysis.

Bio-based formulation for enhanced performance
Non-DEHP Tygon S3™ E-LFL is made with bio-based plasticizers which increase
pump performance while simultaneously reducing environmental impact. In addition,Tygon S3™ E-LFL has higher resistance to gas permeation compared to silicone,
protecting your sensitive fluids from oxidation or adulteration.

Biocompatible and safe for food contact
Tygon S3™ E-LFL comes complete with biocompatibility testing which can be foundin the Validation Guide Summary on the Saint-Gobain Bioprocess Solutions website. It
is compliant with United States FDA food contact criteria as well as European UnionRegulation EU 10/2011 food contact criteria.* In addition, Tygon S3™ E-LFL carries
NSF®-51 certification for use in commercial food processing applications.

• Extremely low particle spallation —reliable for sensitive-fluid applications• Meets USP Class VI, NSF-51, and FDA
food additive regulation and EU 10/2011
for its intended use• Suitable for laboratory analysis,diagnostics and food contact
applications

Single-use Applications• Wide range of liquid transfer in labs
and bioprocess applications• Production filtration and fermentation• Food and cosmetic processing• Surfactant delivery• Flavor and vitamin concentrate dispensing• Printing ink transfer• Highly viscous fluid transfer• Drum and tank drainage• Shear-sensitive fluid transfer*For complete compliance information and appropriate use instructions, please refer to thedetailed document of compliance which can be obtained by contacting Saint-Gobain.

The values listed for working and burst pressures
are derived from tests conducted under controlledlaboratory conditions. Many factors will reduce thetubing’s ability to withstand pressures, including
temperature, chemical attack, stress, pulsation andthe attachment to fittings. It is imperative that theuser conduct tests simulating the conditions of theapplication prior to specifying the tubing for use.
